Pale the young squire who goes to fight
  To die at his master's side
  Living is just a dream inside
  You ask me why he cried
  "What am I doin' here?"
  "What am I doin' here?"
    Beautiful princess, fair and pale
  Stares out across the sea
  Alone in her castle dark and grey
  Her love she'll never see
  "What am I doin' here?"
  "What am I doin' here?"
    Tenderly bury the fair young dead
  Place a wooden cross at his head
  All the words you can say
  Have been said
  It's for you my tears are shed
    What can be done, you won't believe
  Listen and you may see
  Everyone's dream is deep within
  Find it and you'll be free
  "What am I doin' here?"
  "What am I doin' here?"
    Tenderly bury the fair young dead
  Place a wooden cross at his head
  All the words you can say
  Have been said
  It's for you my tears are shed
    Tenderly bury the fair young dead
  Place a wooden cross at his head
  All the words you can say
  Have been said
  It's for you my tears are shed
