Lyrics Old Form - Karen Pree

You know I'm almost sure I saw them
Creep up through the floor
With their hands around a waist
That had graced my doors
But it was you and me
And nothing more

A better fare for the plate
And to sate your bones
Sure to share, sure to share
But you can make it known
They've all but swallowed
Everything they own

You're here to claim a parting gift
A waste to leave with what you started with
There's little that a weight will shift
In anything your arms can lift

Cut your teeth and you're a flag born waving
Dare to speak, but I'm a breath worth saving

If there's a plan, then it's lost on me
And they took a hand that they meant to keep
What a pair and proud they'll be,
To hold riches far as eyes, eyes can see
Riches far as eyes can see

Gave the gods quite a scare
And now they'll spare no stone
'Til they cast off the glare
From your waking throne
And leave a shadow fallen
Where it shone

An old friend came to call
And now we bear his grin
And it's never going to fall
You see, he's always been
So patient waiting
For the lights to dim

If there's a plan, then it's lost on me
And they took a hand that they meant to keep
What a pair and proud they'll be,
To hold riches far as eyes, eyes can see
Riches far as eyes can see
