Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

History

My favorite book, "The Mists of Avalon," is a retelling of the King Arthur story from the femminine/pagan perspective. In the book, the Lady of the Lake gives the sword, Excalibur, to Uther Pendragon (Arthur's father). She gives it to him because he is a leader who respects both the new and the old ways and who will lead with integrity.

I wrote this song for the man in my life who could be trusted to hold me with that same integrity and honor. - Danya River

I will give you my Excalibur
you wield it like no other king can.
Twist the blade, undress my heart
where you can heal your battled hand

Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down

I will lead you where I wish I did not live,
Will you plant me violets there?
and fold me in the dawning of your arms?
Will you catch my weary tears?

Lay me down my king?

Restless One come rest with me.
Lay your vigil down.
Love?s the treasure of your wanderings.
May love bejewel your crown.

Lay me down my king?
Warrior, I won?t let you down

I will give you my Excalibur
You wield it like no other king can
