"The Sweet Prince" lyrics
(feat. Ajay Prasanna, Johnny Marr and Anoushka Shankar)
There are stars far away
That you might reach somehow
There are scars that will never heal
So why pretend they've gone away?
Sweet prince, don't be sad
You were never meant to be here
And the sword you hold in your hand
Well, its mighty blow will set you on your patterned path into the next life
I found myself by your bedside
Looking out across the void
I was trying to say I love you
But you just looked the other way
Sweet prince, don't be sad
You were never meant to be here
And the sword you hold in your hand
Well, its mighty blow will set you on your patterned path into the next life
That you might reach somehow
There are scars that will never heal
So why pretend they've gone away?
Sweet prince, don't be sad
You were never meant to be here
And the sword you hold in your hand
Well, its mighty blow will set you on your patterned path into the next life
I found myself by your bedside
Looking out across the void
I was trying to say I love you
But you just looked the other way
Sweet prince, don't be sad
You were never meant to be here
And the sword you hold in your hand
Well, its mighty blow will set you on your patterned path into the next life
