Weary Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Heavy is the head, where's the crown Won't you sit on the throne you never wanna come down Hand that reigns, well, it's filled with the scepter There's no room left for the compass he kept there [Chorus] And the gypsy whispers secrets to the queen As the joker steals his bread unseen A befuddled king is no king at all He's just a weary, a weary man with the farthest to fall [Verse 2] Kingdoms come and they will go Every reign ends, every king knows The common man, he may have his go No, but wisdom, it's free, it won't be worked or sold [Chorus] And the gypsy whispers secrets to the queen As the joker steals his bread unseen A befuddled king is no king at all He's just a weary, a weary man with the farthest to fall [Bridge] And you know somewhere down inside That his power, well, it's made him blind Only he don't cover his eyes But he has to fall before he'll rise [Chorus] And the gypsy whispers secrets to the queen As the joker steals his bread unseen A befuddled king is no king at all He's just a weary, a weary man with the farthest to fa-a-all
