So this is how it starts From the bottom of a broken heart Just like the saying goes "As above..." well you know... what they say. And I cast shadows on the trees, never them onto me You mean the world to me, not just some mountaintop to reach More than the centuries that we knew would bring them crumbling to their knees... Let them fall. So this is how it feels to be king for day And is this what it means to be ready when we go? ...Well I don't know. So we'll try to keep in mind these are the best years of our lives I guess it takes some failing to really know you tried And holding back the hand of that "old keeper of time" is more and more like trying to scratch the surface of a diamond. Oh my friend, if you asked me too, I would be there by you... But my friend, if I asked you to, would you be there? "Come to my rescue..."

I wrote a letter to my Daughters. Thought out things I had to say. "Broken bones will heal back stronger. Torn up hearts won't stay that way." Rest your head on my shoulder. Sigh your heavy hearts to bed. Things you'll keep as you get older, some, you'll give away instead... Oh to know the light in your eyes Oh to know the hurt when you cry... "Heads of stone will learn much harder than the ones who would softly say, 'Who am I, if not a vessel for the tides of time to sway?'" Oh to know the light in your eyes Oh to know the hurt when you cry... Sealed the letter to my daughters. Sent it off with all their names...

"Someday I will go to Providence Oh I have heard that you can find where you're goin' out there And I will sing to the ocean, til' the waves they have swallowed me But those waves, they seem so far away So for now, I'll just dream of the day Someday I will live amongst the trees Oh I have heard if you are quiet you can hear them speak And I will sing to every star up in the sky, til' every star is shining just for me But all those stars, they seem so far away So for now, I'll just dream of the day Someday I will leave this 9 to 5 Oh I've been told there are better things to do with my time And I will cross every highway, every street, til' every place I've ever been is home to me But all those places, they seem so far away So for now, I'll just dream of the day Someday I will fall in love again I've often wondered of where and of when And she could be my every reason to leave here, and we could live out all our dreams with every day But all those dreams, they seem so far away So for now, I'll just keep dreaming my life away..."

One day when I'm through chasing my tail, and I have found that along it was you... One day when I'm through racing the moon... I will return, I will return to you. I know I give away all the best parts of me. I know I like to keep all the best parts of you. But one day soon, one day soon, They will return, they will return to you. There was a song that was sung in the dawn of the east. It gave its blues to the sky and its gold to the seeds. And this song is the same as your song, every refrain, every reprise 'til the day is done... "And they'll return to you with every day as anew. Every season a change, every turn in you, the same."

So it was, will always be That kingdoms fall into the sea And so it goes, and so will stay Was of the few to be king for a day
