Laura Veirs - Sun Is King lyrics

even the most shimmering rain empties out the sky and comes to an end we all know that the sun is king there's no messing with our orbiting so why is he standing in his own backyard crying at his fallen down house of card? did you see the ice in his eye? did you see the dagger caught in his smile? innocent as a summer flower with a serpent coiled under his collar so why is he standing in his own backyard crying at his fallen down house of card?
