You know I’m almost sure I saw them creep up through the floor with their hands around a waist that had graced my doors but it was you and me and nothing more
A better fare for the plate and to sate your bones Sure to share, sure to share but you can make it known they’ve all but swallowed everything they own
You’re here to claim a parting gift a waste to leave with what you started with There’s little that a weight will shift in anything your arms can lift
Cut your teeth and you’re a flag born waving Dare to speak, but I’m a breath worth saving
If there’s a plan, then it's lost on me and they took a hand that they meant to keep What a pair and proud they’ll be, to hold riches far as eyes, eyes can see Riches far as eyes can see
Gave the gods quite a scare, and now they’ll spare no stone ‘til they cast off the glare from your waking throne and leave a shadow fallen where it shone
An old friend came to call, and now we bear his grin And it’s never going to fall-- you see, he’s always been so patient waiting for the lights to dim
