Shut your eyes my darling there's nothing you can say
|
the man in the moon won't fall on you
|
he doesn't live there anyway
|
you don't have to be a soldier to fight in your private war
|
let the blood you might see rain down on me
|
you don't have to fight no more
|
|
there's nothing you can say
|
there's nothing you can send
|
there's nothing that can change the facts
|
not all the king's men
|
|
you'll ride upon the stallion
|
i'll ride upon your mare
|
we'll ride so far ride so hard
|
far away from here
|
when we look back upon the
|
|
it all will become so clear
|
the gates will open up for us
|
we won't have no more fears
|
|
there's nothing you can say
|
there's nothing you can send
|
there's nothing that can change the facts
|
not all the king's men
|
look away look away
|
|
you might be tired and troubled but not today
|
when they come down upon you
|
I won't let them get anything on you
|
and we'll dream away all those fears and troubles may
|
look away
|
|
we both were motherless children
|
they sent us separate ways
|
the family you'd seen beat down on you
|
mine it was okay
|
I've come to take you back may
|
save you from this fate
|
they won't have any more chances
|
to treat you this way
|
|
there's nothing you can say
|
there's nothing you can send
|
there's nothing that can change all that
|
not all the king's men
|
|
there's nothing you can say
|
there's nothing you can send
|
there's nothing that can change all that
|
not all the king's men
|
