Fatherly Downs - Eric Johnson

Fatherly Downs

The tower where he lived

Is looking out to the sea from long ago

His work by trade, an armourous knight

That helped the weak from falling a prey

He kept the light on

I hate to see you alone

The reverie, disguised in its gown

His honor matched the strength of his fights

In battles strong, defeating the foes

All countrymen would hail to his might

They light the candles

Why do I see you, undone?

He wore the crown, the daunting refrain

Of visions in his head, he did see

He knew someday, a knight turned to king

Could not unravel the mystery

He lights the candle

Why do I see you undone?
