King For a Day

Here I stand

At the edge of my tears

My sorrow has gone

No laughter – no fear

My life carries on
But I left behind the face of innocence

When I turned and walked away from her voice

The dark and lonely road not taken

Sometimes that’s the saddest choice
God shone down with his heavenly light

And we were kings for a day

Just when I thought it would all be alright

You blew it away
Now the unfamiliar silence

Whispers softly like an inner voice

And just below the level of the visible

Lies the saddest point
Every woman’s heart is a well of mystery

God I love it when they lie to me

Still the saddest part is how you cannot see

You were never really meant to be

King for a day
King for a day
Here I stand
At the edge of my tears

My sorrow has gone
