Reginald

All the kings of Western Europe and the presidential parades
Reginald kicks his feet back and turns another page
This place has been in the family for generations it seems
But he'd survive to leave it all behind

But the weight of the world just don't compare to a dusty bookstore in a fading town square
And there aren't that many things with the weight of someone else's dreams

Everything's discounted and the profits razor thin
He'd try about anything to get some folks in
Biographies of those come and gone, and then some made up prose
You don't have to buy, just take your time

Reginald leans back in his chair in his dusty bookstore in a fading town square
And he lights a lamp to see as he turns another page to read
