Crown and the Common

Описание: LYRICS

I walked through corridors of cold white stone
A heavy weight upon a gilded throne
Behind the velvet and the iron gates
I resigned my heart to the hand of fate
The banners flew in the morning breeze
While I was searching for a moment's ease
I slipped away from the royal guard
To find the beauty in the castle yard
Beyond the hedges where the roses grow
A secret path that the servants know

Oh, I found my soul in a stranger's eyes
Underneath the vast and the open skies
No crown of gold or a kingdom's pride
Could match the feeling blooming deep inside
In the most unexpected way we met
A love so deep I could never forget

He was tending to the horses in the rain
With calloused hands and a gentle refrain
He didn't bow or look away in fear
He spoke a truth that I longed to hear
He shared a crust of bread and a simple song
While the palace bells rang loud and long
I saw a world that I'd never seen
Where I was a woman and not just a queen
His laughter echoed like a mountain stream
Awakening a long-forgotten dream

They look for suitors in the noble halls
While my heart was scaling the garden walls
They offer jewels and they offer land
But I only want to hold his weathered hand
The highest towers and the deepest moats
Can't stop the rhythm of the lovers' notes

Oh, I found my soul in a stranger's eyes
Underneath the vast and the open skies
No crown of gold or a kingdom's pride
Could match the feeling blooming deep inside
In the most unexpected way we met
A love so deep I could never forget

Now the throne feels light and the days are bright
In the quiet shadows of the coming night
I found my king in a common man
Part of a greater and a wilder plan
In the garden where the wild things grow
Is the only kingdom that I need to know
