I Leave the World

«i give you king charles, who unified and created a french nation single handed!
«i give you king charles who ended the one hundred years war!»
«i give you king charles, my friends, who rode into battle at the head of his
troops!»
«took Rouen and reconvened the trial that vindicated the virgin martyr of
Lorraine!»
«i give you king charles, who is 58 years old this day
i give you king charles VII of france»
(charley) blow out all the candles
one for every year
no, leave a candle burning
for the one year she was here
i leave the world
some footprints in the sand, the world will understand
the world will understand
i leave the world a castle in the air
i never got to share
it’s still up there somewhere
i leave the world
for what it’s worth, the space i took
upon this earth
the empty place, i had to face alone
i leave the world
a love i couldn’t trust, and left to gather dust
too long inside of me
i leave the world to tell me if it can
if i was half the man
she wanted me to be
if i was half the man
she wanted me to be
i ask the world, was i half the man
she wanted me to be?
if i was half the man
she wanted me to be
