Lyrics
There’s a darkness around the approach to my heart &
I can’t find the right road home
When you open your eyes there’s a light that comes on &
I no longer feel I’m alone
You’re the one they write stories about
The fairest of all, the forests around
My kingdom so tame in your arms
The howling wolves, fall silent around us
When I’m lost in the dark, in the crowd I’m alone
The sun feels so far off tonight
You climb the tower of the sorrow and doubt &
Surround me in all your light
You’re the one they write stories about
The bravest of all, the forests around
My kingdom so tame in your arms
The howling of wolves, fall silent around us
Like pilgrims we roam, through the Slough of Despond &
The Valley of Shadows and Death
With a grin you’ll arrive when the nights have been long &
Allay this nomadic unrest
We’re the ones they write stories about
The Fairest of all, the forests around
My kingdom so tame in your arms
The howling of wolves, fall silent around us
We're the ones they write stories about
The fairest of all the forests around
My kingdom so tame in your arms
The howling of wolves, fall silent around us
There’s a darkness around the approach to my heart
I can’t find the right road home
