Andre Fratto - The Emperor's Ghost lyrics

Take me back my sweetest friend I will never let you go There was a time when I was alone Please don't let me go You sang me a lonesome song In the cherry blossom field The pedals of yesterday Rain down on us still The frozen lake oh how it dreams Of a warmer sun Atop the mountains we would sit And read words of love The fire in the lighthouse Promises to burn Return to me the clouds would say In the sullen sky Take me back to where the rivers run wild Under the trees where the pheasants cry In the meadows we would toss and turn Where the relics and ruins were left to burn Where the emperor's ghost came regal and proud And his crown was tilted to one side And he sat on his snow covered throne and cried And he wondered why Oh how he wondered why...
