Your name means king
In your reign I was queen
I was your vassal and your jester
After the war I was sequestered

I wait by the mountainside
Hoping that you will thumb a ride
I can’t force your hand
I’m wasting time

Where’s my second wind?
Gathering around the bend
You are gone
I move on

I’m amazed at how love changed
Part of me loved you true and brave
Part of me a weapon to force you to choose
That part of me hates to lose

I talk to you when I’m in bed
Like you’re a ghost just like you’re dead
You won the fight
I’m wasting time

Where’s my second wind?
Gathering around the bend
You are gone
I move on

I write all of the things I’d say
Ships in a bottle, sealed and safe
I write them
I push you through my pen
