I Wear Your Ring Lyrics - The New York Room

in the empire of the one-eyed King 

behind the iron gates of sleep 

beyond the reach 

of all loss and longing 

of all my suffering 

in the kingdom of the melancholy 

I keen for thee this melody 

waiting for your 

bell to call me 

for you to summon me 

keeper of dreams 

I wear your ring 

with quiet tears I emplore thee 

it is with you I long to be 

in the empire of the one-eyed King 

behind the veils of tears I weep 

beneath the swell 

of voices singing 

of voices yearning 

in the sorrow of his majesty 

I pray upon my rosary 

wishing for your 

arms around me 

for you to comfort me 

keeper of dreams 

I wear your ring 

with quiet tears I emplore thee 

it is with you I long to be
