You came by lighting a seasoned road
Somewhere between a lie and a story untold
With the wisdom of a father
The hunger of a son
The beauty of of a young boy
And the words of a grown man
And I had nothing there to give you
I was drowning deep
My wish was long gone
And my heart was asleep
And while you turned I've had too many nights to dream
Too many flames to dim and I saw you in him
With the march of a warrior
The blue blood of a king
The short breath of a sailor
And like a separated twin
You were standing there before me
With your effortless speech
Pretending to be harmless
Yet impossible to reach
But this time you knew
That the minute I'd walk away from you
I'd take it all, I'd take it all
I'd take it all
So here we are unruffled and polite
As I carry you on, into the night
With the affection of a mother
The hollow of a child
The memories of a young girl
Whose innocence has gone wild
And I have everything to give you
A lifetime to forsake
But your heart is asleep
And it's not mine to take
