Ghost of a King - The Gray Havens

Met a ghost of a king on the road when I first fell, fire burning

To my knees, to my knees I fell

Met a ghost of a king on a road

Words of fire

He said, "You are a lonely soul

With a heart of stone that rakes against your thirsty bones

Such a lonely soul"

Said, "I can show you what can save you, but we need to go

Where no chariot can take you

Where the river meets the sand

There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones

And make you well, make you well"

So I followed the ghost of a king with every step

I tried to see beyond for a trace of the riverside

But restlessness was my prize

And then we came upon a golden shore

But the voice of fire wasn't comin' from a ghost no more

My heart of stone came alive

When my eyes were opened up

And I saw that I had come

Where no chariot can take you

Where the river meets the sand

There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones

And make you well, make you well

So I knelt beside the river and I drank until, I drank until, I drank until I died

There's something in the water, must have brought me back

It brought me back, it brought me back to life

Where no chariot can take you

Where the river meets the sand

There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones

And make you well, well

Where no chariot can take you

Where the river meets the sand

There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones

And make you well, make you well
