Emperor's Box Songtext
von Katie Noonan & The Captains

applause seems quiet without your voice
I guess I just want to make you proud

we all have our strength to learn
and right or wrong I learn mine

I know you′re alone so much
but never left alone too
I am right here for you
so let your guard down and hang your heavy head
hang your head

and I waited for you
just to say I love you
and I realized too
I can hold you like you held me
and there's no doubt on this earth
I′ll never completely know you
I will fail you, and you'll fail me
but I'll always love you


admitting it′s hard is not defeat
the emperors will find his new clothes
grace is the only way through
but you′re not alone

and I waited for you
just to say I love you
and I realized too
I can hold you like you held me
and there's no doubt on this earth
I′ll never completely know you
I will fail you, and you'll fail me
but I′ll always love you

yometimes I feel you can't see me
your words made my ground fall away
you′re the walking wounded alone in thought
but I'll swim beside you, but no comparisons


and I waited for you
just to say I love you
and I realized too
I can hold you like you held me
and there's no doubt on this earth
I′ll never completely know you
I will fail you, and you′ll fail me
but I'll always love you

TIME
k.noonan

as the face touches the screen
are you allowed to feel joy?
as the pictures imprint your heart
are you allowed to give in?

as the hand of fate hands you
a second chance full of fear and joy
will the sepia filter of loss
allow a little colour through again?
allow a little colour through again?

and time will soften all your blows
time will soothe you in your sleep
and time will gently hold you again

the day of leaving is a day
you will live each and every year
there were no more words to say
but your eyes spoke a thousand more
your eyes spoke a thousand more

and time will soften all your blows
time will soothe you in your sleep
and time will gently hold you again

and time will soften all your blows
time will soothe you in your sleep
time will wash away your guilt
time will set your joy free
and time will soften all your blows
and time will gently hold you again
hold you again
