Once the fever subsides
I’ll return to flatlands
A new man, a new man
Playing king, slowing time
Bundled for our rest cure
With your X ray in my locket
Planting seeds, idle hours
Chained to my reflection
In the shadow of a mountain
Playing king, playing bride
Blooming in my leisure
Slipping hours left uncounted
You and me, and soon ours
Bury me beside you
In the shadow of my mountain
I’ll return to flatlands
A new man, a new man
Playing king, slowing time
Bundled for our rest cure
With your X ray in my locket
Planting seeds, idle hours
Chained to my reflection
In the shadow of a mountain
Playing king, playing bride
Blooming in my leisure
Slipping hours left uncounted
You and me, and soon ours
Bury me beside you
In the shadow of my mountain
