There were Kings who were laughing in the rain

         Dm                       Gm
And they told me I'd come here to lead the parade

        Dm                         Gm 
All the colours were changing, the sky was in ruins

    Dm                        Gm
The lights are all shining on me and on you

There's a fire it's asleep in my bed

I must leave it to burn until it burns itself out

I'll be coming back early or never at all
