Lyrics The Queen & the Soldier (Remastered) (Live) - Suzanne Vega
The
soldier
came
knocking
upon
the
queen's
door
He
said,
"I
am
not
fighting
for
you
any
more"
And
the
queen
knew
she'd
seen
his
face
someplace
before
And
slowly
she
let
him
inside
He
said,
"I've
watched
your
palace
up
here
on
the
hill
And
I've
wondered
who's
the
woman
for
whom
we
all
kill
But
I
am
leaving
tomorrow
and
you
can
do
what
you
will
Only
first
I
am
asking
you
why"
Down
the
long
narrow
hall
he
was
led
Into
her
rooms
with
her
tapestries
red
And
she
never
once
took
the
crown
from
her
head
She
asked
him
there
to
sit
down
He
said,
"I
see
you
now
and
you
are
so
very
young
But
I've
seen
more
battles
lost
than
I
have
battles
won
And
I've
got
this
intuition,
says
it's
all
for
your
fun
And
now
will
you
tell
me
why?"
Well,
the
young
queen,
she
fixed
him
with
an
arrogant
eye
She
said,
"You
won't
understand
and
you
may
as
well
not
try"
But
her
face
was
a
child's
and
he
thought
she
would
cry
But
she
closed
herself
up
like
a
fan
And
she
said,
"I've
swallowed
a
secret
burning
thread
It
cuts
me
inside
and
often
I've
bled"
And
he
laid
his
hand
then
on
top
of
her
head
And
he
bowed
her
down
to
the
ground
"And
tell
me
how
hungry
are
you?
How
weak
you
must
feel
As
you
are
living
here
alone
and
you
are
never
revealed
But
I
won't
march
again
on
your
battlefield"
And
he
took
her
to
the
window
to
see
And
the
sun,
it
was
gold
though
the
sky,
it
was
gray
And
she
wanted
more
than
she
ever
could
say
But
she
knew
how
it
frightened
her
and
she
turned
away
And
would
not
look
at
his
face
again
And
he
said,
"I
want
to
live
as
an
honest
man
To
get
all
I
deserve
and
to
give
all
I
can
And
to
love
a
young
woman
who
I
don't
understand
Your
highness,
your
ways
are
very
strange"
But
the
crown,
it
had
fallen
and
she
thought
she
would
break
And
she
stood
there
ashamed
of
the
way
her
heart
ached
And
she
took
him
to
the
doorstep
and
she
asked
him
to
wait
She
would
only
be
a
moment
inside
Out
in
the
distance
her
order
was
heard
And
the
soldier
was
killed,
still
waiting
for
her
word
And
while
the
queen
went
on
strangling
In
the
solitude
she
preferred,
the
battle
continued
on
