about

A man who doesn't have to slay dragons...

lyrics

So here he is: your shining knight,
dressed button up and with no sword.
I came to rescue you from no one but yourself.

And when the cold blew in your face.
The pinkest cheeks I ever saw.
There's nothing wrong with being normal, just love me.

At the end of the day there's no dragons, there's no towers,
there's only you and me, and a big empty book.
I didn't slay an army just to have your honor.
I waited and I walked. I laughed and I kissed.
I held you and I fell in love.

So what begins? Where do we go?
What battles do you have in store?
My quiet suffering does not seem long enough...

I send a dove out every day,
and every night I get one back.
And soon enough the thorns I fell in will subside.

At the end of the day there's no dragons, there's no towers,
there's only you and me, and a big empty book.
The story doesn't need to have a villain or a monster
I give you a flower, you give me a kiss.
We lie down and we watch the clouds.

So here I am: your shining knight.
I don't believe I'll need my sword,
but I will fight whatever evil we might cross.

I have a bottle with your name.
The little, simple things you do...
My little heroine I found you at last!

At the end of the day there's no dragons, there's no towers,
there's only you and me, and a big empty book.
The tale is just beginning, you and I the authors.
Let's make ourselves a story, and tell it to our children.
