Beautiful and wounded beautiful and smart
I knew you were the one to rule over my house of cards
Oh and there is not a woman not dreaming of a throne
so I tempted the worst in you and tortured you ten years long
Cause Your bones were way too brittle to wear the weight of a king's crown
Place the pedestal up high enough, even angels let you down
But you fought hard little darlin', you yelled while I screamed
and the promise held on long enough for true love to intervene
then it's yeah, yeah baby won't you let it go
come on over here under the covers its cold
I need your pirate touch not your poet's soul
the past is the past soon as you let it go
The past is the past soon as you let it go
In a single conversation a million moments are at stake
and forgiving love was the mother of my personal earthquake
and your kiss still makes me tremble and your body still makes me blush
oh but what sweet release to want you for more than the rush
then it's yeah, yeah baby won't you let it go
come on over here under the covers its cold
I need your pirate touch not your poet's soul
the past is the past soon as you let it go
let the rock roll away from your soul
let the rock roll away from your soul
we both made mistakes that's how it goes
It's part of the motor make this grace thing go
there are thorns in the roses and roses in the thorns
and with the grace of two elephants we're ready for more
we're dancing each other's dreams
two lovers, one king
we're dancing each other's dreams
two lovers one king
