Lyrics:

You let the world grow cold around you
You let the heavens pass you by
You could have been the emperor
But it would have been a lie

You let the world grow cold around you
You let the heavens cry above
You should have been a gardener
You should have been in love

But you hide them away
As if you're keeping them safe
And your children all say
"Who are the fathers now?"

And you bribe them to stay
Then you drive them away
And your children still say
"Who are the fathers now?"

You let the world grow cold around you
You let the heavens pass you by
You could have been the emperor
But it would have been a lie

You let the world grow cold around you
You let the heavens cry above
You should have been a gardener
You should have been in love

Do you have the secret knowledge?
Do you have the secret love?
And do you keep it hidden
From those below and those above?

Well, I'll touch you on the rooftop
And I'll touch you in the street
I'll take your secret knowledge
To everyone I meet

You let the world grow cold around you
You let the heavens pass you by
You have become the emperor
But only in your mind

You let the world grow cold around you
You let the heavens cry above
You should have been a gardener
You should have been in love
