With one light on in one room, I know you're up when I get home

With one small step upon the stair, I know your look when I get there



If you were a king up there on your throne,

would you be wise enough to let me go?

For this queen you think you own

wants to be a hunter again, I want to see the world alone again

To take a chance on life again -- so let me go



The unread book and painful look, the TV's on, the sound is down

One long pause, then you begin, oh look what the cat's brought in



If you were a king up there on your throne,

would you be wise enough to let me go?

For this queen you think you own

wants to be a hunter again, I want to see the world alone again

To take a chance on life again, so let me go, let me leave



For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now

And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow

And all the time I'm thinking, thinking



I want to be a hunter again, want to see the world alone again

To take a chance on life again, so let me go
