[Verse 1]
Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur
Draped in white velvet, silk and lace
The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase
Sparkles on fingers slender and pale

[Chorus]
The jester he sleeps, but the raven he peeps
Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain

[Verse 2]
Maroon-coloured wine from the vineyards of Charlemagne
Is sipped by the queen's lips and so gently
Indigo eyes in the flickering candlelight
Such is the silence o'er royal Camelot

[Chorus]
The jester he sleeps, but the raven he peeps
Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur
Draped in white velvet, silk and lace
The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase
Sparkles on fingers both slender and pale
[Chorus]
The jester he sleeps, but the raven he peeps
Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain
