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
