Opposing kings

I'm sorry I was miles away when they came encamping

Opposed kings of rude grace and ruder will. 

I'd become fat off the land and mired in rubber stamping

I'd become drunken off the still.

I'd place my life in the hands of my love and opposing kings

I'd put my faith in the future and see what the future brings

And I'm sorry

I'm sorry I was miles away when the man came calling,

Miles away when the bill came due

If love for love might allow then forgive me for I am falling

If love for love might allow me to see what I might accrue
