"King Of Nowhere" lyrics

Fanning Dempsey National Park (Bernard Fanning & Paul Dempsey) Lyrics

"King Of Nowhere"

Get the photograph so if we disappear
They'll hang it somewhere on the wall
Time is slipping by us, tiptoe past unnoticed
Keep a record, follow the map, follow the money
Tomorrow belongs to us, something so deeply hidden
Is rushing towards me over uneven ground
Whispered signals through the noise
Shimmer in circles around us
Hear them echo into the void

Here comes the king, the king of nowhere
Here comes the king, the king of nothing

The new folk devil with his shallow vanity
Pinning medals one by one, to the lapels of his family
We weathered every storm, blunted every sword
Discovered that remembering would bring us home
It crumbles before me metal rain falling down
Seeds of grace and seeds of joy
Resting their branches around us
Hear them echo into the void

Here comes the king, the king of nowhere
Here comes the king, the king of nothing
Here comes the king, the king of nowhere
There goes the king, the king of nothing

The king of nowhere
The king of nothing
The king of nowhere

If love is the armour, our silent resistance
Our one place of refuge in a world of indifference
Love is the harbour, unbreakable shelter
As we bend the arc toward love

To love, to love, to love
To love, to love, to love
