I could have had an empire you know
Once upon a time I could have raised an army
And who knows? Maybe I still could
If I wasn't tied to you.
Once upon a time, I had admirers from every angle.
But now I only have you.
You who cannot call, cannot write
Cannot speak a word without shuddering
I bet you don't even know me
Not in any way that matters
I had warriors, poets, knights and thieves
Jesters, kings, peasants and princes
Skulking around outside music mega stores
Trying to buy my coffee and conversation
But I was older then
You came to me when I was broken
Into tiny marbles rolling across angel's floors
You had pretty things to say
Your hand was soft
Your hair was nice
I, like Bobby, have miles to go before I sleep
And many many promises to keep
But when I wake up in the morning
Curl over and caress you
Will you know me then? |
