Mr Chess Lyrics

Mr Chess lyrics

So good to meet you Mr. Chess 

I've always heard that you're the best


At housing knights 

and castles high up in the air 



So I
beseech you, Mr. Chess 

To let me sleep inside your bed 

and would you
sleep too? 

Would you sleep too 

in the chair? 



You see, I
dream of many things. 

Of floating solitary kings 

of pawns and people


with blue sequins in their hair 



the jester sings 

the bishop
brings the Queen 

a hollow following 

and all the pawns and people stop


and people stare 



so i too stop at three o'clock 

i stumble
to your door and knock 

and ask to see you, ask to be you 

Mr. Chess


Oh Mr. Chess 

My Mr. Chess 



Now I beseech you Mr. Chess


To let me sleep to let me rest 

To let me dream, to let me sing


without a care 

I would dream you things so fair 

i'll sing you
castles in the air 



and i would sleep too 

i would sleep too


i will rest 

Oh Mr. Chess 

My Mr. Chess
