kelpie queen

Every day like clockwork the king Leaves an offering for his kelpie queen Flowers and kisses plated in gold Her smile never gets old She takes his hand and she's warm But in her eyes is an ocean storm He's scared of the day that his gifts won't be enough So he gives more and more If she could only speak she'd say Thank you for the gifts, but take them away I have nothing to offer in return I'm paper-thin and I'm about to burn He gives her a veil to smother the flame She accepts the smoke, she takes the blame She's scared he'll break like porcelain So every day like clockwork The kelpie queen welcomes the porcelain king In an embrace, still smoldering They're smoldering, they're smoldering They're smoldering out Leave an offering for the kelpie queen
