Lyrics Matthew Perryman Jones

Matthew Perryman Jones

All the King's Horses

She finally broke it

I won’t cry

No, I won’t cry

She whispered the verdict

I won’t fight

No, I won’t fight

Wars like these

Come to wreck and waste

The years we build

We can’t replace

Retelling stories in the dark

That’s where it starts

Rewind the memories that never stop

They never stop

Wars like these

Are a wreck and a waste

The years we build

We can’t replace

Did you hear our voices

And all the King’s horses

Did the warning wash off the wall

On these wheels of worn tread

And all the words we said

Could one like you ever fall

Could one like you ever fall
