Backseat, fast asleep, she tells me that she'd like to meet
So sheepishly, in my dreams, I watch as we study each other
Kings and queens, a father bleeds
Something that I heard on TV calls to me
And suddenly it's so sad for me, that we won't know each other
(And I'm half a life, half alive)
We won't know each other
I wanna know the way you held me like a keep
I wanna go to bed but I can hardly sleep
Twice he came, took the blame
Told her that a child won't make him stay
Took the reins, made her pray
That she would be a mother
She would carry another
And even if the world would end I wouldn't speak my mind
I think it in the night I think it all the time
Oh when the wars keep coming, will you be the one to set me free?
When the law means nothing, will you come and rest your soul with me?
I don't mind I'd do it for love, I'd do it for free
And what does that make me?
Oh when the wars keep coming, will you be the one to set me free?
When the law means nothing, will you come and rest your soul with me?
Oh I'd do it for love, I'd do it for free
And what does that make me?
What does that make me?
