Kingdom Come
Seven miles east of the end of the world
The air is made of juniper and chlorine
Every living creature wants to sing your praise
It's humming from the honeybees
They wove me a crown from dandelions
And they said that I was here to save the day
No one ever told me I was pretty
They only told me I was brave
Maybe I wouldn't be here right now
if it had stayed that way
when they ask you for your name
say your mother never gave you one
it's better not to tempt fate
but the altar in the woods is begging for your blood
the cathedral in the pines wants you to stay
so come my love
come with me
we'll give our bodies to the trees forever
forever
come my love
stay right here
we'll eat nectar and ambrosia
stay forever
forever
stay forever young
i'll take you to kingdom come
isn't it a burden just to be?
isn't it a wonder just to live?
don't you think the hardest part is
learning to forgive yourself?
so come my love
don't give in
don't you know good always wins?
Yeah
come my love
don't look back
the real world will tear you apart
you know that
you know that
So come my love
your heart's too big
for the world outside
you know you'll never make it
please just stay forever young
i'll take you to kingdom come
and the sun will just be the sun
and the sun will just be the sun
The air is made of juniper and chlorine
Every living creature wants to sing your praise
It's humming from the honeybees
They wove me a crown from dandelions
And they said that I was here to save the day
No one ever told me I was pretty
They only told me I was brave
Maybe I wouldn't be here right now
if it had stayed that way
when they ask you for your name
say your mother never gave you one
it's better not to tempt fate
but the altar in the woods is begging for your blood
the cathedral in the pines wants you to stay
so come my love
come with me
we'll give our bodies to the trees forever
forever
come my love
stay right here
we'll eat nectar and ambrosia
stay forever
forever
stay forever young
i'll take you to kingdom come
isn't it a burden just to be?
isn't it a wonder just to live?
don't you think the hardest part is
learning to forgive yourself?
so come my love
don't give in
don't you know good always wins?
Yeah
come my love
don't look back
the real world will tear you apart
you know that
you know that
So come my love
your heart's too big
for the world outside
you know you'll never make it
please just stay forever young
i'll take you to kingdom come
and the sun will just be the sun
and the sun will just be the sun
