Nightingale

And I will flail under these lights
That seep down from the bitter sky tonight
And I will kick and beat my wrists together
And feel an ocean breathing waves,
Feel them licking at my face.
Ceilings don't exist
And there are no floors beneath me.
If I were king of this night,
Would you become my queen?

And I hope, your majesty,
That you like your position.
I'll do everything I can
To keep you by my side
And I'll stare off through the darkness
To find us a kingdom.
Just kiss me before I go.

I'll have to walk a thousand miles
Just to find the ground deserving of your feet.
You could throw me down
And walk on me.
And I'd just look on through my love
And through the haze.

And I hope, your majesty,
That you like your position.
I'll do everything I can
To keep you by my side
And Ill stare off through the darkness
To find us a kingdom.
Just kiss me before I go.

The nightingales are singing now.
(yeah)They're calling out our marriage
To our subjects on their knees
Their jewlry is thrown into the air.
They sigh at the release
As their shackles hit the ground.
The trumpets call out now.
We're home at last.

And I hope, your majesty,
That you like your position.
I'll do everything I can
To keep you by my side
And I'll stare off through the darkness
To find us a kingdom.
Just kiss me before I go.
