Royal Courtship - Al Stewart

[00:26.41]I sent my majordomo to your amanuensis
[00:33.99]To ascertain your feelings, and strip away pretenses
[00:40.55]And then a few days later, you sent back your vizier
[00:46.64]And though he spoke quite courtesously
[00:49.98]His meaning wasn't clear
[00:53.08]Not to my majordomo
[00:59.74]Not to my majordomo
[01:07.22]So I sent my acolyte to further our relations
[01:14.01]And he engaged your ministers in lengthy conversations
[01:20.49]One or two were willingto discuss the matter frankly
[01:26.61]We then received your advocate
[01:29.8]Who told me that you thanked me
[01:33.32]Also my majordomo
[01:39.630005]Also my majordomo
[01:46.46]I therefore told my counselor to offer my best wishes
[01:53.47]And he was greeted cordially with smiles and festive dishes
[01:59.72]I further was encouraged by a note in your handwriting
[02:06.33]Delivered by your confidant, it seemed you were inviting
[02:15.14]My plenipotentiary with great felicitations
[02:21.42]To join your chief of protocol in swift negotiations
[02:28.16]But something must have happened
[02:31.45999]A secret door had closed then
[02:35.0]The word from my ambassador was you were indisposed
[02:40.94]And could not meet my majordomo
[02:48.26]There's nothing I can do now
[02:54.53]I sent my majordomo
[03:01.71]I sent my majordomo
