I'm a dark man in the rain,
the prince of Aquitaine
My tower's torn down and the star in my brain put out
But I'm burning to sing and it's clear,
very clear I'm still here
I've lost and I've won
I've lost harems and black sands by the sea
And roses that twist round the vine like a
snake Holding on to my wrist
The queen's taken captive and I live with her gown
Crumpled and torn in the hole where I wait On my life and I'm late
I live in a dream of the Italian sea And remember my parrots,
my roses and my leopard
I live in a dream of the Italian sea And remember my parrots,
my roses and my leopard
Throwing stones in the
yard
I've lost and I've won
I've lost and I've won
