king street - jackie ward (uk) lyrics

[verse 1]
i stand on a precipice
my childhood slowly slipping away from me
i’ve been living for a future uncertain
waiting for me across the sea
the vapor dreams are made of
is all that i have to keep me moving forward, the
abstract infuation with a version of life
that i have yet to see

[pre*chorus]
so as this final summer passed
i longed for faded glories of the past
it was bittersweet, painful, i laughed
all those years we spent as outcasts

[chorus]
it was never a home but i
found home in you for a time
it was never a home but i
built a home with you frozen in time

[verse 2]
at the ending of an era
a time i prayed for so long that i would come to see
i used to count the days
’till the end when there were still thousands left in front of me
years searching for contentment
and a place in this world but i’ve got my whole life in front of me
my regrets may drag me down
but there’s a weightlessness in the blank slate of my dreams
[pre*chorus]
i turned and saw a structure
rise above the skyline and like a guardian watch over me
trell!ck ever rising
just like it did when i was seven now i’m seventeen

[chorus]
it was never a home but i
found home in you for a time
it was never a home but i
built a home with you frozen in time

[outro]
all those fated years that i felt the cost
of the passion, pain, privilege, the loss
of the bitter resentment i oft
find myself untangling the knots
making peace with all that it taught
not a vale of tears but a cradle of god
leaving king street for the last time i sought
to find the better life for which i’d long fought
