Lyrics for What Am I Doing Here? - Alternate Mix

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
