about

This song was written about a good friend of mine who used to sit around all the time smoking.

lyrics

When I was king I had diamonds in my crown
but they're all fallen out now
Pull me from thos grave I have made
I'm more than afraid now
Cos I have died 1 thousand times with every death more lonely than the last

To tell the truth you make me awful mad
taking all I had
sometimes I can forget that i'm forgot
and all my friends are gone
but all my words get tangled up in reasons that were never even mine

Sometimes I can feel you right beside me
But mostly I'm alone
And if you stay well say you'll be here always
or leave me on my own

Maybe I'm in love with my sadness
happy in this mess
Think I might just take another lift
to feel like i'm adrift
but I see the water ripple as I keep sinking down down down

Sometimes I can feel you right beside me
But mostly I'm alone
And if you stay well say you'll be here always
or leave me on my own
mmmm

There you found me crying in your garden
I didn't here you coming
Tried to speak to tell you I was sorry
And I would give up all these things and love you like a wing oh
I would give up all these things and love you like a wing on the wind
