Lyrics The King - Wishbone Ash

The King

The grey mist ushers in the day
A beggar walks along the king’s highway
Where does he come from?
Who can tell?
They can’t escape the gaze they know so well
The dream came true in far off lands
He always knew she’d understand
The march of time her love did wane
Another’s crime played on the lady’s pain
And now the ring shines in her hand
Who’s the stranger with her wedding band?
With faith so true, robbed of his lands
He always knew she’d understand
