The king had something changed within him   I should have told him no   Oh Columbus, I never should have let you go   Now aching wires, midnight fires   Things I could not know   Oh Columbus, I never should have let you go   You don't suppose there'd    Be room in here somewhere for me   I think I just need    Someone's words to reassure me   I don't blame any of you, and I don't blame myself   Waiting for my small reward   It's going to come somehow   Oh Columbus, I wish that you could see us now   We don't posses a single empty tear   Or furrowed brow   Oh Columbus, I wish that you could see us now   You don't suppose there'd    Be room in here somewhere for me   I think I just need   Someone's words to reassure me   I can't change any of you, I can't change myself   The man had something strange about him   He should have let me know   Oh Columbus, I wish I'd never let you go   You don't suppose there'd   Be room in here somewhere for me         I think I just need    Someone's words to reassure me   I don't blame any of you, and I don't blame myself   Columbus
