THE ASSASSINATION OF J.F.K



I remember that cold November evening

Snow dusting lightly on the ground

I Can still bring to mind that awful feeling

The King of Camelot had been downed

The King of Camelot had been downed


-------------------------------------

I remember that black and white transmission

Via Telstar, 5000 miles away

Stunned and cold, we just listened

The King of Camelot He'd died that day

The King of Camelot He'd died that day


--------------------------------------

I never got to sleep that night time

Something nagging at my soul

How could someone so good and so fine

Be silenced by a madman's goal
--------------------------------------

So nearly 50 years have passed, but to me

It all seems so recently

Although time has dulled the shock of it all

There are better days that I can recall

There are better days that I can recall

-----------------------------------------

And he was so outspoken

Let us never negotiate out of fear

He will never be forgotten

That Eternal Flame burns year after year

The King of Camelot is dead


The King of Camelot is dead


The King of Camelot he died that day
