lyrics

(Verse I)
Another night for me,
Another day beneath a tree,
Why do they call?
Why do you let me fall?
Does it matter at all?

(Verse II)
All the king's horses are dead on their feet,
So why do we fight when we can only retreat?
Somewhere a light shines incredibly bright,
Passing through trees while casting shadows into the night,
It doesn't feel quite right,

(Chorus)
Lend me your ears and I'll give you my heart,
Gently caress you or tear you apart,
When I am with you they won't say a word,
Lions as cowards, now tell me that's not absurd,

(Instrumental)

(Verse III)
I will be waiting under the willow,
Where we first met all those years ago,
See you in moonlight, be with you in daylight,
Where dandelion clocks and bluebells grow,
Take me with you everywhere you go,

(Chorus)
Go now, be free and I'll send you my heart,
Never forget you when things fall apart,
You can be free now, as free as a bird,
Lions as cowards, now tell me that's not absurd,

Tell me you're mine and I'll give you my heart,
Gently caress you or tear you apart,
When I am with you they won't say a word,
Lions as cowards, now tell me that's not absurd,

Lend me your ears and I'll give you my heart,
Gently caress you or tear you apart,
When I am with you they won't say a word,
Lions as cowards, now tell me that's not absurd..
