I'm supposed to
choose a suitor to
wear the crown
I said I would
choose as soon as
I weave this shroud
They don't know
that every night
I unthread all
the work I've done
'Cause I'd rather lie
than allow them to
think they've won
Though I never thought
that I'd resort to this
Just know
I'll be here
But I don't know how
much longer I'll last
since we saw that storm
And though it was so
close to our kingdom
it was far from the norm
Unless
Oh could it be
some kind of sign
that my world is all
about to change
Is it finally time
for the challenge
I arranged
Though I never thought
that it would
come to this
Just know
I'll be here
buying you time
Oh buying you time
Whoever can string
my husband's old bow
and shoot through
twelve axes cleanly
will be the new king
Sit down at the throne
and rule with me
as his queen
Let the arrow fly
once you know that
your aim is true
'Cause I'd rather die
than grow old without
the best of you
Though I never thought
that these would be
the lengths we'd
go for love
I would not have it
any other way
And though I never
thought that it would
end like this
Just know
I'll be here
Waiting waiting
Waiting waiting
Waiting waiting
Oh
