The king is in his kitchen
Cooking breakfast for his queen
And I am in the basement
Sipping on my gin
I wanna know where you're
Coming from
And why its taking you
So long..

Veronica called
on the telephone
will the ghosts of yesterdays
ever leave this man alone
she asked me
is your man at home?
I said he's gone some place else
He wont be coming back soon

There is dust everywhere
Familiar voices in my ears
I went to a second-hand-shop
And I traded in my tears
For a brave new voice to speak
And a whole new set of fears..
Now I'm dry behind my eyes
so I am heading for the sea..
gotta learn, learn... to let it be..

I'm still so angry
My skin is turning gray
I'm trying to contain it
Don’t wanna give it all away
Love got lost somewhere
When your mind went of astray
I cant save you babe,
Although I love you babe
Gotta save myself
And its getting late..

And I..thank you for your
Generosity
If you love me
If you love me ..
Set me free, set me free,
Set me free..

There is dust everywhere
Familiar voices in my ears
I went to a second-hand-shop
And I traded in my tears
For a brave new voice to speak
And a whole new set of fears..
Now I'm dry behind my eyes
So I am heading for the sea..
Gotta learn, learn..to let it be..
To let it be… to let it be…
