(verse 1) 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 (bridge) "What am I doin' here?" "What am I doin' here?" (verse 2) Beautiful princess, fair and pale Stares out across the sea Alone in her castle dark and grey Her love she'll never see (bridge) "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
