When I look back on my life

A stillness passes over friends

What I stored was yours to keep

It's no more mind to reclaim than the rock and the trees

Oh

I spent a year in the kingdom

On my way

On my way through the garden

I spent a year in the kingdom

On my way

On my way through the garden

Comfort used to pass my days

Before you shook the cold from me

I have enough to hold me to your side

Before release comes for me like a thief in the night

Oh

I spent a year in the kingdom

On my way

On my way through the garden

I spent a year in the kingdom

On my way

On my way through the garden

I'd give back every night bird's song

I'd give back every lay in the dawn

I'd give back my singing voice

For one more day for one more day in the kingdom

For one more day for one more day in the kingdom
