john donne (folk) - the ballad of king arthur lyrics

[verse 1]
doing better than i thought i would be right now
someone hurt me so much, but i’m coming around
i found you before i lost what’s left of my mind
lead a bird to the sky, but you can’t make it fly
whether you lose or win, you will start losing friends
i’m a jerk ’til the last, that’s a means to an end
so before we begin i will fool you again
but it never looked right there, in my collection

[verse 2]
writing you a love song and it’s coming along
i fly low to the ground, god, it’s good to be wrong
good for all aches and pains, good for collapsing veins
good for you, you’re a star at the end of my days
the next album or two, i will write ’em for you
he knows not what he does, he knows just what to do
when you’re finally through and he moves to undo
half the things that were right and all the things that were true

[verse 3]
bound to lose and to win and to rise and to fall
good king arthur is dead, who was handsome and tall
bound to stand and to sing before the lord of song
take me home, country roads, to the place i belong
into the flood again, same trip it was back then
nothing breaks like a heart, nothing dies like a friend
in the church of good cross, in the bank of fair lend
an angel gets its wings for each dollar i spend

[verse 4]
doing better, but don’t, it always seem to go
the profit and the loss, and it was all yellow
doing better but now, world is turned upside down
jimmy finn took a swim in his bathtub and drowned
for the bold and the true, themselves the traitor crew
oh, what must be at last, it had better be soon
how the west wasn’t won, having way too much fun
and the first shall be last
k!ll two birds with one gun
