| I will never defend the men who make amends with any enemy’s friends
|
| I will never pretend
|
| There we were, the three of us
|
| The thief, the king and I
|
| Finally, we were forced to see
|
| We were equals in the night
|
| (That Starry, starry night)
|
| Looking down between the trees
|
| And the town we knew we had to leave
|
| For what it’s worth
|
| We will walk the Earth until we find the things we seek
|
| And the king said
|
| I believe that I’m a non-believer now
|
| I was a leader, but I had to leave them all
|
| No one will ever know the things I held inside
|
| So I let them go
|
| Oh my god, oh my god, yes, oh my god
|
| I will never defend the men who make amends with any enemy’s friends
|
| I will never pretend
|
| I will never bow down to another man even when everyone’s saying I’ve sinned
|
| I will never repent
|
| Whoa, whoa
|
| Whoa, whoa, whoa
|
| They will not protect us
|
| (We will fall)
|
| They will not defend us
|
| We’ll be left behind, we’ll be left behind
|
| And I never give a damn about the story’s end
|
| Or even how it all began
|
| And the one word that I’ll seek is one that I can tell myself
|
| And it’s a long and winding road
|
| But if you reap the seeds you sow
|
| You’ll see you’re really not alone
|
| I will never defend the men who make amends with any enemy’s friends
|
| I will never pretend
|
| I will never bow down to another man even when everyone’s sayin' I’ve sinned
|
| I will never repent
|
| There we were, the three of us
|
| The priest, the tramp, and I
|
| Years ago, we had left to roam
|
| But reunited on that night
|
| (That starry night)
|
| No one had to speak a word
|
| For we all knew what the others learned:
|
| That everything that we ever did
|
| Was but a way to pass the time
|
| And The Priest said:
|
| I believe that I’m a true believer now
|
| I was a sinner, but I came to see the light
|
| The bum and me did not agree, but I must confess some jealousy
|
| Oh my god, oh my god, yes, oh my god
|
| I will never defend the men who make amends with any enemy’s friends
|
| I will never pretend
|
| I will never bow down to another man even when everyone’s sayin' I’ve sinned
|
| I will never repent |
