You can hear my song about Elizabeth I of England at about 37 minutes into this radio show

Here are the lyrics for the song
The daughter of Anne Boleyn
When Mary died her reign would begin
The path to the throne had been cleared
Her sailors singed the King of Spain’s beard
She longed to unite a divided land
Catholics and Protestants she would command
The burnings at Smithfield over now
To avoid persecution she made a vow
The daughter of Anne Boleyn
When Mary died her reign would begin
The path to the throne had been cleared
Her sailors singed the King of Spain’s beard
A mystical romance on a public stage
Musicians and poets would give her praise
The fantasy of the virgin Queen
Of her love many nobles had a dream
The daughter of Anne Boleyn
When Mary died her reign would begin
The path to the throne had been cleared
Her sailors singed the King of Spain’s beard
But old age can be so unkind
She concealed the ravages of time
With a wig to hide her thinning hair
Her last days in melancholy despair
