All the King's Horses

She wanted roses, he brought her seeds
She tended the flowers, while he grew the weeds
The grass grew untidy, the borders unkempt
The feelings they once had so honestly meant
Disappeared beneath the undergrowth where
Once grew the flowers he twined in her hair

And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put her love back together again
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put her love back together again

She asked for a token, he gave her his key
To finally prove, said he, what you mean to me
You can cook and clean and wash for me
And polish dishes too
What more do you want? She said: I love you
He said: so do I. She faded away
Into the shadows of that once vibrant day

And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put her love back together again
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put her love back together again

She left him a letter to say she had gone
He found it and 'phoned her. They talked until dawn
She said: I want pillow talk late into the night
And flowers on my birthday, and bright shining lights
He said: let me think on this for a while
After all, he'd only just noticed that she'd ceased to smile

And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put her love back together again
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put her love back together again

Days turned to weeks, still no word came to say
He'd finally decided to meet her halfway
So she turned her heart over, and resolved to start again
She would make good in this world full of men
Every Tom, Chris and Larry she would hug and she'd kiss
Now she rides the bright morning, with a hawk strapped on her wrist

And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Finally pulled her back together again
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Finally pulled her back together again

Every Fred, Dick and Barry she would hug and she'd kiss
Now she rides that bright morning, with a hawk strapped on her wrist
'Cause all the king's horses and all the king's men
Finally pulled her back together again
