Dm                    A
A terrible mistake was made
A                       Dm
The weight would break the backs
Dm                      A
Of ten strong horses tried to save
A                  Dm
The castle in the fray
Dm      A
If you knew
A                 Dm
That I could take the pain
Dm              A
Inflicted at the battle
A               Dm
With faithful arrows you
Dm                  A
Might get back in the saddle
A                       Dm
But it's a special death you saved
Dm                      A
For me, the brown-eyed daughter
A               Dm
Once you made it hotter
Dm              A
The thankless, holy praise
A               Dm
Is left alone. Why bother
Dm              A
To cast a stone in water?
