I will never defend The man who makes amends with any enemy’s friends I will never pretend There we were, the three of us The thief, the king and I And finally we were forced to see We were equals in the night (starry, starry night) Looking down between the trees Of the town we knew we had to leave For what it’s worth we will walk the earth Until we find the things we seek And the king said: I believe I’m a non-believer now I wasn’t a leader but I had to lead them all No one will ever know The things I held inside, so let them go Oh my god Oh my god Yes, oh my god I will never defend The man who makes amends with any enemy’s friends I will never pretend I will never bow down To another man even when everyone’s saying I’ve sinned I will never repent Whoa, woah, woah, woah They will not protect us (we will fall) They will not defend us We’ll be left behind We’ll be left behind I never gave a damn about the story's end Or even how it all began And the one word that I seek Is more than I can tell myself It’s a long and winding road But if you reap the seeds you sow You’ll see you’re really not alone There we were, the three of us The priest, the tramp and I Years ago we had left to roam And reunited on that night (starry starry night) No one had to speak a word For we all knew what the others learned Everything that we ever did Was but a way to pass the time And the priest said: I believe I’m a true believer now I was a sinner but I came to see the light The bum and me did not agree But I must confess to jealousy Oh, my god Oh, my god Yes, oh, my god
