Testo di ' Queen And King Of Smaller Things ' di Andrew Leahey & the Homestead

I can hear the hum
Overhead of the power lines
Something half-sung and half-spoken
And fully ours tonight
This country's run by rich men's sons
And they don't look like anyone
We've seen around, these hallowed grounds
That we call yours and mine

So let us be
The queen and king of smaller things
You and me
The queen and king of smaller things

Out there is a place for leavers
And those who've not arrived
Looking for delivery in the miles and speed
Or rule in the yellow lines
I've held your hand across borderlands
A million times in my own mind
Seen highway flowers shake in the wind
Until I'm blown back to you again

And we'll be
The queen and king of smaller things
You and me
The queen and king of smaller things

Across the dividing line
Young hearts trade their blood for rust
Because they lost their bets on the candidates
Who don't give a damn for us
You've seen me bow to temporary crowns
But you're the one I wanna follow now
And if the miles between cut me at the knees
I'll be low enough to kiss your ring

And we'll be
The queen and king of smaller things
You and me
The queen and king of smaller things
