There were good days
I had an angel over me
But I couldn't see
The devil around the corner
And there were dark nights
When I cried myself to sleep
But when you were there
I didn't care at all
In the end you wanted
A price I couldn't pay
I tried to keep my head
Above the water
But all the color tales of
The glory that you bring
It don't mean a thing
So farewell to the king
On a white cloud
Looking down at dirty streets
I make a wish
For good things for my sister
The one who holds me
When I cry myself to sleep
'Cause when she's there
I learn to love again
I hear you whisper
"Only a fool would walk away"
But the truth is that
My life is so much better
And you have got to give me
The melodies I sing
But you took everything
So farewell to the king
And in the end you wanted
A price I couldn't pay
I tried to keep my head
Above the water
And all the color tales of
The glory that you bring
It don't mean a thing
So farewell to the king
