Only These Words Lyrics - Higher Truth - Chris Cornell

In a castle 

Down a long road 

A little girl was born 

To a king and 

To a queen and 

Her mother's eyes welled 

With tears of joy 

Staring at the tiny face 

Of the miracle she made 

She would say I love you 

She would say I love you 

Summer came and went 

Autumn rolled in 

Trees all stripped to bones 

Daddy's little girl 

In his arms while 

They sit upon his throne 

Who is that thief 

Hiding in the dark? 

Just the little girl who stole his heart 

And he would say I love you 

He would say I love you 

He would say I love you 

With only these three words repeating 

A simple greeting 

But it's all we want to hear 

And clever lips can be misleading 

A tongue can fly away 

And won't come down 

But it's only these words 

We need right now 

Six o'clock am 

Her alarm rings out 

Awoken from a dream 

No more castle 

Down a long road 

No more king and no more queens 

But she's a princess nonetheless 

And a handsome prince is what she'll get 

And he will say I love you 

He will say I love you 

He will say I love you 

He will say I love you 

He will say I love you 

He will say I love you.
