Weary Man

[Verse 1]
Heavy is the head, where's the crown
Won't you sit on the throne you never wanna come down
Hand that reigns, well, it's filled with the scepter
There's no room left for the compass he kept there

[Chorus]
And the gypsy whispers secrets to the queen
As the joker steals his bread unseen
A befuddled king is no king at all
He's just a weary, a weary man with the farthest to fall

[Verse 2]
Kingdoms come and they will go
Every reign ends, every king knows
The common man, he may have his go
No, but wisdom, it's free, it won't be worked or sold

[Chorus]
And the gypsy whispers secrets to the queen
As the joker steals his bread unseen
A befuddled king is no king at all
He's just a weary, a weary man with the farthest to fall

[Bridge]
And you know somewhere down inside
That his power, well, it's made him blind
Only he don't cover his eyes
But he has to fall before he'll rise

[Chorus]
And the gypsy whispers secrets to the queen
As the joker steals his bread unseen
A befuddled king is no king at all
He's just a weary, a weary man with the farthest to fa-a-all
