Fading Like the Tide

She walked in on a summer storm
Dressed in silk that kept me warm
I was just a shadow on her wall
She never meant to watch me fall

I held her coat, she held the world
A cheap flag for a queen unfurled
She said “don't promise me the sky”
I promised anyway — too high

Oh, I loved her like a prayer in the dark
She loved me like a forgotten spark
I reached for heaven, she stayed on the ground
Now there's nothing left… but the fading sound
Fading like the tide — from her shore
Kingdom Come don't live here anymore

She let me sleep inside her bed
But dreams of her already dead
I carved her name into my chest
She carved “goodbye” — that hurt the best

One night she laughed, I asked her “why?”
“You love too deep for such a guy”
I smiled and drank the poison wine
A perfect fool — a perfect sign

Oh, I loved her like a prayer in the dark
She loved me like a forgotten spark
I reached for heaven, she stayed on the ground
Now there's nothing left… but the fading sound
Fading like the tide — from her shore
Kingdom Come don't live here anymore
