lyrics

king of stone

the king of stone bartered with me
we shook hands with
the tall oak trees
talked under his dark green robes
thought we were alone

but the forest has its own eyes at night
who knows where they go what they see
some creatures stay sleeping until the light
we tiptoe gently, let them be

the people of the woods and I
drank and sang till it was time
to toast and drink, a merry meal
to celebrate the deal

but every agreement comes with a price
who knows when its time to dig in
to your pockets, your heart's full for a time
but lessens on each passing whim

hand in hand we walk with them
to teach the saplings how to swim
in my old age they'll do the same for me
walk me to the sea
