Liner Notes

My #movietitlechallenge prompt was "King Of The Monsters". I wrote a spooky little lullaby on a Taylor I had just restrung to get a little closer on my goal to write a song on all of my instruments this month. Enjoy!

Lyrics

Verse 1

He was the king of the monsters

He lived beneath my bed

When I awoke in the night for water

He spoke nightmares into my head

Chorus

It's a lonely kingdom

So far from the sun

He lived to send a tingle down my spine

When he went bump in the night

Verse 2

She was the queen of starlight

A flicker of wonder traveling my walls

A glimmer to wipe the tears from my eyes

Laid the pillow down in dreams to catch my fall

Chorus

It's a lonely kingdom

So far from the sun

She lived only to comfort me

But every morning she had to leave

Verse 3

So tonight can you hold me?

Read a fable and tuck me in

Tell me monsters are just lonely

Maybe we all just need a friend

Chorus

It's a lonely kingdom

A night so far from the sun

Monsters and fairies can be equal

A companion for everyone

Oh, this is so lovely and haunting. Beautifully sung and this has such an engaging, unique melody. It has a dreamlike quality that perfectly suits these creative lyrics. Truly lovely song!
