Eye On Attraction 16 Queens Lyrics

The game is over I have found a home
What we have done cannot be done alone
I have never noticed there were 16 queens
Against a pawn, what a grisly scene
The hours flew by, the seconds crawled on
We looked at each other as we sang this song
At last, at last, the labels are gone
The king of the world is lowly pawn

Don't be a rolling stone, wander through life alone
Don't let it pass you by, carve some wings and fly
Open your mouth and speak, your tongue will lash the meek
We're all prepared to teach, now practice what you preach
Close your eyes and look inside, you know that you can't hide

'Cause times have come and times will go
After twenty-some odd years there's just one thing that I know
Remember who you are no matter where you go
For the king is still a pawn to those
Who never thought they'd see the day that he would reach the throne

We have found our way home
To where it all began
We work for love alone
Together we will stand
Down by the willow tree I saw a younger me
Sit and watch the widow make tears, tears for her namesake
I didn't know its worth, that scene that gave the birth
To a lasting memory to this day I carry
We all have secrets we forever seek
This is my destiny

'Cause times have come and times will go
After twenty-some odd years there's just one thing that I know
Remember who you are no matter where you go
For the king is still a pawn to those
Who never thought they'd see the day that he would reach the throne

We have found our way home
To where it all began
We work for love alone
Together we will stand

'Cause times have come and times have gone
Once a mighty king, again a lowly pawn
For he is far too old, too weak to carry on
But the pawn is still a king to those
Who never thought they'd see the day that he gave up the throne

We have found our way home
To where it all began
We work for love alone
Together we will stand
