Kings In The Trees

2017

So many nights

So many days

Come and spent

So many ways

In the Prairie winds


Clinging to the storm 

Mornings in the rain

Crossing wheat fields 

Again and again

Old weather vanes


Kings in the trees

You left us now

Before summer light fades


Kings in the trees

You left us now

For fields in

Other days


Loves shiny things

Tomorrow may bring

More gems 

And tambourines

Rooms of pretty things


You had to go

In the golden light

As the drive-in faded

Into rusty night

Into rusty night


Kings in the trees

You left us now

Before summer light fades


Kings in the trees

You left us now

For fields in

Other days


You're on the radio

While life drags on

In a slow wide line

On the 401

We'll be fine


 So many songs

Peel time away

Across corduroy fields

Of burning hay

Of burning hay

Kings in the trees

You left us now

Before summer light fades


Kings in the trees

You left us now

For fields in

Other days
