I was on the back of a nightingale, living like a king; | |
Listening to the songs that you’d sing. | |
Home fires were burning and the smoke stung our eyes; | |
We were blind from birth, until that night. | |
Love grows old and we die younger each time. | |
Heaven loves a martyr | |
And how am I supposed to run with my legs sunk in the mud? | |
I wish I had grown up a little longer | |
And if we’d flown south, we’d have a home at least for now; | |
Love grows old | |
And I lived like a king |
I was on the back of a nightingale, living like a king | |
Listening to the songs that you' d sing. | |
Home fires were burning and the smoke stung our eyes | |
We were blind from birth, until that night. | |
Love grows old and we die younger each time. | |
Heaven loves a martyr | |
And how am I supposed to run with my legs sunk in the mud? | |
I wish I had grown up a little longer | |
And if we' d flown south, we' d have a home at least for now | |
Love grows old | |
And I lived like a king |
I was on the back of a nightingale, living like a king | |
Listening to the songs that you' d sing. | |
Home fires were burning and the smoke stung our eyes | |
We were blind from birth, until that night. | |
Love grows old and we die younger each time. | |
Heaven loves a martyr | |
And how am I supposed to run with my legs sunk in the mud? | |
I wish I had grown up a little longer | |
And if we' d flown south, we' d have a home at least for now | |
Love grows old | |
And I lived like a king |
