The day was young
As we rode along the river
And I swear
He was the fairest thing to grace those steady banks
In ages come and lost forever
There was a mystery about him
Like a thousand secrets I would never know
So we spoke
And he, laughing, took my hand
Golden-tongued
His words were fickle j**els along the sand
So sincere and softly spoken
He told me of his home
How he was sad he was alone
And how someday he hoped to find a girl like me
To be his queen…
And his smile was like a sunrise
Clear and sweet
And though he never said it
I think perhaps the girl he meant was me
That in a future that we shared
With pledges won and secrets bared
We'd stand together in what destiny would bring
And I'd found my king
