Once the fever subsides
I'll return to the flatlands
A new man, a new man

Playin' king, slowin' time
Bundled for our next cure with your x-ray in my pocket
Planting seeds, idle hours
Chained to my reflection in the shadow of a mountain

Playin' king, playin' bride
Bloomin' in my leisure, slipping hours left uncounted
You and me, and soon ours
Bury me beside you in the shadow of my mountain
