Paper Crown King Lyrics

Where you been to
For so long?
Did you find
What you did seek?
You'll say I missed you
I'll say you're wrong
Crown of paper
Crown me king

When my back was turned
You walked away
And the cold did burn
And the dreams did fade

I thought the snow was coming
I let the cold get in
I've kept these home fires burning
Yeah, these home fires burn
For your return

And these four walls
Are tumbling down
This house is empty
Without you
So when you're come in
To replace that crown
It's on the floor
It's rusted through

When you return
I shall be king
And I promise you
Everything
I thought the snow was coming
I let the cold get in
I've kept these home fires burning
Yeah, these home fires burn
For your return

I can't wait for your loving
I can't wait for your touching
I hope this wait ain't for nothing
I hope this wait ain't for nothing

I've kept these home fires burning
I've kept these home fires burning
I've kept these home fires burning
I've kept these home fires burning
For your return
