Lyrics So Far And Here We Are - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

So Far And Here We Are

Oh, once I had a partner but now that is done
I made awful actions that I thought were fun
Here years have come on and I live like a king
A monarch who rules over all that he sings
I started in old world
Have come down to new
But actions, behaviors
They’ve come with me too
There had been a time when
The world knew my name
They may know it somewhere still
But I ain’t the same
And I bow to the word and not to the one
The word is, the heart is, the throat is the sum
There’s no rest for the wicked
And less for the good
No fear for us mongrels
Who do what we should
And they pointed to the sky
And they said it would fall
I ended her, ended him, ended it all
These are my conclusions from under the sun
Oh, once I had a partner, but now that is done
