Sweet Sir Galahad

[Verse 1]
Sweet Sir Galahad came in
Through the window in the night
When the moon was in the yard
He took her hand in his and
Shook the long hair from his neck
And he told her she'd been working much too hard

[Verse 2]
It was true that ever since the day
Her crazy man had passed away
To the land of poet's pride
She laughed and talked a lot
With new people on the block
But always at evening time she cried

[Refrain]
And here's to the dawn of their days
La-la-di-di-di
La-la-la-la
La-da-da-da
La-ah, ah

[Verse 3]
She moved her head
A little down on the bed
Until it rested softly on his knee
And there she dropped her smile
And there she sighed awhile
And told him all the sadness of those years that numbered three

[Verse 4]
"Well, you know, I think my fate's belated
Because of all the hours I waited
For the day when I'd no longer cry
I get myself to work by eight
But oh, was I born too late
And do you think I'll fail at every single thing I try?"

[Refrain]
And here's to the dawn of their days

[Verse 5]
He just put his arm around her
And that's the way I found her
Eight months later to the day
The lines of a smile erased
The tear tracks upon her face
A smile could linger, even stay

[Bridge]
Sweet Sir Galahad went down
With his gay bride of flowers
The prince of the hours of her lifetime

[Refrain]
And here's to the dawn of their days
Of their days
