Save Me—My Darkest Days (3:42)
Cooper
Other Character
He reminds me of a tale, he does. Every day he comes here and asks the same questions. Always askin' about that locket. And the pictures inside. He's determined to find them, he is. I'd admire the man if he wasn't so damned sad all the time.
Me mam used to tell me tales of princes searching the land for their lost princesses. Fighting evil and saving their girl from certain death. They were good stories and they always had a happy ending. Somehow, though, I dunna think Corky's tale will end nearly as well.
Real life doesn't work like me mam's tales. In real life I know that Corky's princess is dead and buried. I know his queen is in the wind. No one saw her leave and no one knows where she went.
Still King Corky will search for her. He will find her. But…when he does I do believe that the tears of grief he will shed will flood the world. This tale of his can only end in sorrow and I grieve for him.
