The Gray Havens - Ghost of a King
10
Copied!
{Verse 1}
Met a Ghost of a King on a road
When I first felt fire burnin'
To my knees to my knees I fell
Met a Ghost of a King on a road
Words of fire
He said, "You are a lonely soul
With a heart of stone
That rakes against your thirsty bones
Such a lonely soul"
Said, "I can show you what can save you
But we need to go"
{Chorus}
Where no chariot can take you
Where the river meets the sand
There is water there
That can quench your thirsty bones
And make you well
{Verse 2}
So I followed the Ghost of a King
With every step I tried to see beyond
For a trace of the riverside
But restlessness was my prize
And then we came upon a golden shore
But the Voice of fire
Wasn’t coming from a ghost no more
My heart of stone came alive
When my eyes were opened up
And I saw that I had come
{Chorus}
Where no chariot can take you
Where the river meets the sand
There is water there
That can quench your thirsty bones
And make you well
{Bridge}
So I knelt beside the river
And I drank until, I drank until, I drank until, I died
But something in the water
Must have brought me back, it brought me back
It brought me back to life
{Chorus}
Where no chariot can take you
Where the river meets the sand
There is water there
That can quench your thirsty bones
And make you well
