Lyrics Lady Mary (Live) - Joan Baez

He came from his palace grand
He came to my cottage door
His words were few but his looks
Will linger forevermore

The look in his sad dark eyes
More tender than words could be
But I was nothing to him
And he was the world to me

There in her garden she stands
All dressed in fine satin and lace
Lady Mary so cold and so strange
Could find in her heart she no place

He knew I would be his bride
With a kiss for a lifetime fee
But I was nothing to him
And he was the world to me

Now in his palace grand
On a flower strewn bed he lies
His beautiful lids are closed
On his sad dark beautiful eyes

And among the mourners who mourn
Why should I a mourner be?
For I was nothing to him
And he was the world to me
