Lyrics by Queen:I am forever searching high and low But why does everybody tell me no Neptune of the seas Have you an answer for me please The lily of the valley doesn't know I lie in wait with open eyes I carry on through stormy skies I follow every course My kingdom for a horse But each time I grow old Serpent of the Nile Relieve me for a while And cast me from your spell and let me go Messenger from Seven Seas has flown To tell the King of Rhye he's lost his throne Wars will never cease Is there time enough for peace But the lily of the valley doesn't know
