New King Letra

walked out of the city
bound together
as they were bound to be
to pull a fortune
from a river
and drink the syrup
from the trees

Kith and kin
when the ice gets thin
will forage and will fend
as you delivered
will begin
to deliver them

Your father on the radio
Your mother on the hill
put these words together
with their bodies
and their will

Show your faces, hear the sound
There's a new king coming 'round

You came to this world naked
to be set inside the hands
that will nurse and decorate you
and learn you how to stand
In your mother's leather jacket
In your father's cotton shirt
Grow up good into the light
Grow down deep into the dirt

Your mother and father
walked out of the city
bound together
as they were bound to be
to build a bed
for new beginnings
of driftwood
and fallen leaves
