Letra da Música The Musical Box Genesis

Play me Old King Cole
That I may join with you
All your hearts now seem so far from me
It hardly seems to matter nowAnd the nurse will tell you lies
Of a Kingdom beyond the skies
But I'm lost within this half-world

Brush back you hair, and let me get to know her face

Brush back you hair, and let me get to know her fleshI've been waiting here for so long
And all this time that passed me by
It doesn't seem to matter now
You stand there with your fixed expression
Casting doubt on all I have to say
Why don't you touch me, touch me?
Why don't you touch me, touch me?
Touch me now, now now, now, nowThe musical box

Surged through him. Unfortunately the attempt to persuade CynthiaJane to fulfill his romantic desire led his nurse to the
Nursery to investigate the noise. Instinctively she hurled themusical box at the bearded child, destroying both
