lyrics

Now the cannonballs rage
As I take center stage
But the spotlight just don’t suit me
Back in another time
Where the poets don’t all rhyme
He sits down in the afternoon for tea

He’s the last renaissance man
Lost in his thoughts and
His thoughts always drift to you
He’ll treat her just fine
And he’ll serve her his wine
But his wine won’t tell her the truth

While he’s out riding steed
He’ll recite the Nicene Creed
While the grapes grow ripe along the vine
He takes her out to town
He’s in suit, she’s in gown
He’ll steal her heart although she’s all mine

He’s the last renaissance man
Lost in his thoughts and
His thoughts always drift to you
He’ll treat her just fine
And he’ll serve her his wine
But his wine won’t tell her the truth

Woe is me
Go with me
I can’t compete…with him

When I sneak into his room
Hoping this will be his tomb
With my dagger and my rope in my tote
You know my surprise
As he opens up his eyes
I find my rope gone and dagger at my throat

He’s the last renaissance man
Lost in his thoughts and
His thoughts always drift to you
He’ll treat her just fine
And he’ll serve her his wine
But his wine won’t tell her the truth
