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 I'll stare off through the darkness

To find us a kingdom

Just kiss me before I go

The nightingales are singing loud

They're calling out our marriage

To our subjects on their knees

Their jewelry 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
