Lady Di and I
Joan Baez
Wake me with kisses in the afternoon The butler knows any time you arrive is never too soon He knows just where you are by the sound of your car He'll be waiting there by the spiral stair You could drive me crazy with your unkempt hair You don't know what a comb is and frankly I don't really care 'Cause you're fresh and you're wild and you make the butler smile By bringing me flowers like meteor showers Treating me like a queen though I'm only nineteen Which reminds me of something that I've recently seen It was a look in the eye of Lady Di As she stood on the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the century Was in her long white veil Maybe she would rather have you than the Prince of Wales And all the jewels and the crown and all the villages and towns That line the sea of the monarchy And while I cut the roses what about Lady Di? She's a child of the 80's just like you and like I Think of all of the things that she'll never do See a rock and roll show get a heart-shaped tattoo Look at all the music that I make with you Let's take a walk on the wild side baby I'm in love with you I will leave my Dior by the cabinet door And I'll leave my bouquet on the breakfast tray Let's go for a sail just like the Prince of Wales And did he ever love her in the afternoon? Was the kiss that she gave him in public just a little too soon? There's a tear in the eye of Lady Di As she looks from the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the Century is probably a lie My heart goes out to you Princess lovely Lady Di 'Cause for all that it seems here I stand in my jeans For whatever it means it is I who am queen.
