King Lear 歌词

There’s an old man in town named o’leary but we call him lear He lives in a world grownup people can’t get to from here But he’s magic to children and they love this gentle old ma He can’t relate to grownups but we know that god understands You can find him on a bench on the courthouse lawn everyday Where the kids and their pets all gather and joyfully play People pass and they notice how happy each little face gets When they all gather round him for candy and treats for their pets He’s a king reining there on the courthouse square Grown people can’t get there from here He sets in the sun and his subjects all come To pay homage to good old king lear The town folks all know that the old man is slow in his mind But god sent us a gift more precious than we’ll ever find The sun beams upon him each morning like a halo of love And wherever he goes he’s encircled by white turtle doves
