I watch for you lyrics

I wipe the counter, stained and old While outside tales of brave unfold My heart skips beats, a silly thing To hear the rusty door hinge sing He's back again, my weary knight Appearing through the fading light A fresh new scar upon his cheek But oh, the victory he'll speak He strides right in, head held up high A spark of danger in his eye He finds his usual wooden chair And acts as if he has no care My cheeks are flushed, I pour the drink Faster than my mind can think He catches my own flustered gaze Lost in these happy, hopeful days Da da dum da He's standing right across the room Da da dum da Chasing shadows, chasing gloom Da da dum da With eyes that hold a wilder spark He lights a fire in the dark My silly head just spins around The sweetest joy I've ever found He tells his tale of goblin Lairs Of ancient curses, answered prayers He laughs aloud, a booming sound The safest man on solid ground Though yesterday he fought a beast And barely made it to the feast He shows the trinket he has won Beneath the setting, weary Sun A dented helm, a chipped gemstone Worth less than seeds already sown But proud he beams, his spirit bright Ready for another fight My cheeks are flushed, I pour the drink Faster than my mind can think He catches my own flustered gaze Lost in these happy, hopeful days Da da dum da He's standing right across the room Da da dum da Chasing shadows, chasing gloom Da da dum da With eyes that hold a wilder spark He lights a fire in the dark My silly head just spins around The sweetest joy I've ever found Sometimes he comes back, bruised and sore Leaves bloody prints upon the floor My worry spikes, a silent dread Imagining him lost or dead But then he winks, a roguish sign And makes that weary heart of mine Just flutter like a captured bird At every mumbled, careless word He'll rest tonight, then leave at dawn Before the morning mist is gone And I'll be here, behind the pine Praying his fate stays intertwined My cheeks are flushed, I pour the drink Faster than my mind can think He catches my own flustered gaze Lost in these happy, hopeful days Da da dum da He's standing right across the room Da da dum da Chasing shadows, chasing gloom Da da dum da With eyes that hold a wilder spark He lights a fire in the dark My silly head just spins around The sweetest joy I've ever found
