Alexander
Alexander
Alexander
Would climb the city wall
He'd leap inside and all alone
He'd conquer all
My own adventure: not so great
I'd tumble and I'd fall outside the gate
I tried to live an epic verse
Too bad about the story and the words
And the main character
But through it all each time I tried
And yet I failed but I survived
Get back up, my head still spinning
Looking for a new beginning
Look beside me, there you stood
And then I'd do the best I could
'Cause I believed at least I'd made you smile
I tried to be a merchant prince
Buying high and selling low
That never seems to win
And if I ran for president
I'd only get one vote or two my friend
And no more
And through it all each time I try
And yet I failed but I survive
Get back up my heart still aching
Look for one more chance worth taking
Look beside me there you stand
And then I do the best I can
'Cause I believed at least
I'll make you smile
There are no windmills left to turn
And yet a heart or two still yearns
I realize that all these years
You must have cried so many tears
Over me
So many ships, so many wrecks
The laughter comes in retrospect
Behind, ahead you're always there
I guess I'm lucky life's unfair
I look around and there
I've made you smile I look and see at last
