Royal Reign

(album: Fatherland - 2017)

When I saw you together
Something inside me broke
For it was clear that it was 'when', not 'if'
Your love would skip

He was talking a good game
Big things were on the cards
And how you hung your head close to his
You kept his gaze

Now you're laughing
At one of his jokes
The way you used to laugh at mine
And he wants you
And you want him
It's just a matter of time

And these tears they fall
Like royal reign
You'e lost your leading man
All eras come to end

I'm not going to wile out
I'm not going to cause a scene
For I could do you dirt
Let's keep it right
Let's keep it light

Our season is ending
Better days, riding sane
You kept me on my best game
Now I'm fighting blind-sighted, retired
The end is in sight

Now you're laughing
At one of his jokes
The way you used to laugh at mine
And he wants you
And you want him
It's just a matter of time

And these tears they fall
Like royal reign
You've lost your leading man
All eras come to

Did you?
Did you run out of gold?
Did the love turn to rust?

Did I?
Did I slacken the load?
Retreat into my own thoughts

Next life
I'll roll a double six
Get the bloodline of a king and go

The curtain's going down
The lights are coming up
All eras come to

Now you're touching
On the stairwell
And you think no one can see
And he walks you
To the bedroom
It's just a matter of time

And these tears they fall
Like royal reign
You've lost your leading man
All eras come to

End
