Now the Swan it floated on the English River  
 A D A  
Ah the Rose of High Romance it opened wide  
 C# F#m D A  
A suntanned woman yawned me through the summer  
 E D A  
And the Judges watched us from the other side  
 
I told my mother, Mother I must leave you  
Preserve my room, but do not shed a tear  
Should rumours of a shabby ending reach you,  
It was half my fault, and half the atmosphere  
 
But the Rose I sickened with a scarlet fever  
And the Swan I tempted with a sense of shame  
She said at last I was her finest lover  
 B E E7  
And if she withered, I would be to blame  
 
The Judges said, You missed it by a fraction  
Rise up and brace your troops for the attack  
The Dreamers ride against the Man of Action  
Oh see the Man of Action falling back  
 
But I lingered on her thighs a fatal moment  
I kissed her lips as though I thirsted still  
My falsity it stung me like a hornet  
The poison sank and it paralyzed my will  
 
I could not move to warn all the younger soldiers  
That they had been deserted from above  
So on battlefields from here to Barcelona  
 B E7  
I'm listed with the enemies of love  
 
And long ago she said, I must be leaving  
Ah, but keep my body here to lie upon  
You can move it up and down and when I'm sleeping  
Run some wire through that Rose and wind the Swan  
 
So daily I renew my idle duty  
I touch her here and there, I know my place  
I kiss her open mouth and I praise her beauty  
And people call me Traitor to my face
