We were born in kingdoms
Far away
With gold rings of fire
Just above our heads

I was born in a kingdom
By the river
You were born in a castle by the sea

The night of my first breath
There was nothing special
But if they had listened close
The stars called out my name

You were born to a queen
A child of spring
On a bed with velvet curtains
Every peasent was calling out your name

I was born and worked
Apprentice to a fisherman

You were a princess
In castles by the sea

The sun was hot
Burning through my skin
Casting nets on a darkened sea
A penny a day
To buy a drink
And a place to sleep

Children laughed and played
In the garden
They were your people
And you their little queen
In silken dresses
Dining rooms
You drank wine with
All of royalty

But we grew up
Both knowing something
Missing
A thorn that grew deep inside our hearts
We both looked up and knew that heaven was pretty
But in our minds nothing seemed to change

Then one day the clouds covered up the ocean
And tore the boat  I sailed on
In the sea
Lighting crashed at your window sill
Had you calling for your mother
But you could hear the sea calling out your name

As I beg for breath coughing in the salt

You snuck out for a walk down to the beach

In through the rain I heard you humming sweetly

A lullaby that both our mothers sang

A loving tune was breathing from your lips then
As the sand seemed to swallow up your feet
And on the waves you saw me looking for you

The thorn that grew broke and fell away
