Baby, in Your Kingdom

Baby, I'm a good man when I draw the shades

When I pay the rent this month

It's all running overdue next month

I'm gonna make it up to you in time

Baby, in your kingdom there's a new wind

But my hand's been in the government

Too many years now, holy prophetess

I'm at the gold cow again

Baby, I'm on the good bend

Now I'm three deep, it's the same sin

My family always had to dive in

My grandfather couldn't save him, I know

Baby, what's the due date? What's a family?

What's a home and what's my name?

I want to give my life away this year

Following our friends into the fear

Baby, every airplane

Watch my life end and I know that I'm insane

To ever, ever leave you

Insane to live the life I want to each day

Baby, now I'm coming home

Well, I dove in seven nights in a row again

Where did all my friends go this year?

I want to throw my anchor out right here

Baby, isn't life strange? Isn't God far?

Isn't love right where we are?

I know I'm on the way again this time

I'm giving you my name, I'm giving you my life

Baby, are you satisfied?

Take a decade, take a lifetime

I know we're always on a one-way street

Lie down in the light and wait with me

Baby, in the next life

I can touch you, I can ride the light

Goddamn, I wasn't where I thought I'd be at 29

Burn the world around me and I hide

Baby, in your kingdom

Sink my roots in, I'm a tall tree

I know, wind is gonna blow again

I know, when I am with you, I am known
