Knight of Cups

Once upon a time

Or maybe twice, or maybe more

You sang your song to me

Always after midnight

With a whisper and a will

To bring me to my knees

And oh how you were charming

With all your rosy words

So full of vision

Of the future, you and me

And all that we’d become

And being aptly wooed and thus subdued

I will admit

I offered myself up

Such flattering affection

And promises you made

And I, a fool, believed you

Every time you’d say

That I will wait forever

I will wait for you

But ultimately words and nothing more were all they were

And none were worth a damn

And off so breezily you rode

Into someone else’s arms

To sing your song again

It goes like

I will wait forever

I will wait for you

And onward you are riding

Singing all your songs

For your audience

Of one
