Lyrics
How would you know?
When everything around you's changing like the weather
A big black storm
And who would you turn to?
Oh had I a ghost, a shadow at the most, would you let me know?
'Cause I don't want to
Trouble your mind with the childish design of how it all should go
But I love you so
When it all comes clear, when the wind it settles
I'll be here, you know

'Cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers
The sand upon that place
Darling, I'll grow weary, happy still
With just the memory of your face

Oh, gracious goes the ghost of you
And I will never forget the plans and the
Silhouettes you drew here, no
Gracious goes the ghost of you, my dear

Oh, how would you know?
When everything around you is bruised and battered
Like the cold night storm
And where would you turn to?
Oh had I a ghost, a shadow at the most, would you tell me so?

'Cause I, I adore you so when it all comes clear
The wind is settled, I'll be here, you know
'Cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers
The sand upon that place
Darling, I'll grow weary, happy still
With just the memory of your face

Oh, Gracious goes the ghost of you
And I will never forget the plans and the
Silhouettes you drew here and
Gracious goes the ghost of you, my dear

Oh, gracious goes the ghost of you
And I will never forget the plans and the
Silhouettes you drew here and
Gracious goes the ghost of you, my dear

That every kingdom must one day come to an end
The album title, Every Kingdom, was taken from this line. While talking to the Reuters, Howard hinted at the meaning behind it: Songs became little time periods of my life, little tales from certain periods, and you build these kingdoms and memories… they’re all little personal relationships and places that I’ve stored in my head. This statement sounds almost like an unconscious foreshadowing of his career, and is reinforced by the fact that Ben does not play his old tunes anymore.
