All The King´s Men

Tom Cochrane


Shut your eyes my darling there's nothing you can say 
the man in the moon won't fall on you 
he doesn't live there anyway 
you don't have to be a soldier to fight in your private war 
let the blood you might see rain down on me 
you don't have to fight no more 

there's nothing you can say 
there's nothing you can send 
there's nothing that can change the facts 
not all the king's men 

you'll ride upon the stallion 
i'll ride upon your mare 
we'll ride so far ride so hard 
far away from here 
when we look back upon the 

it all will become so clear 
the gates will open up for us 
we won't have no more fears 

there's nothing you can say 
there's nothing you can send 
there's nothing that can change the facts 
not all the king's men 
look away look away 

you might be tired and troubled but not today 
when they come down upon you 
I won't let them get anything on you 
and we'll dream away all those fears and troubles may 
look away 

we both were motherless children 
they sent us separate ways 
the family you'd seen beat down on you 
mine it was okay 
I've come to take you back may 
save you from this fate 
they won't have any more chances 
to treat you this way 

there's nothing you can say 
there's nothing you can send 
there's nothing that can change all that 
not all the king's men 

there's nothing you can say 
there's nothing you can send 
there's nothing that can change all that 
not all the king's men
