The King Of An Island
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I Walked Along A Rainy Street
Glanced At Patterns On A Floor
Some Weary Eyes Are Staring At Me
An Old Man Starts To Call
He Needs Someone To
Talk To Got Noone, Noone But His Wife
He Raised His Head, A Smile On His Face
And Asked Me For The Time
He Walked Along The Road Of Life
Among The Strong, Among The Weak
Shades From The Past Are Stirring His Mind
But Doubts Are Not The Real
He's Not To Blame For Vietnam,
He's Not To Blame For Watergate
He Raised His Head, A Smile On His Face
And Asked Me: What's The Deal ?
He Told Me He Was A Sailor
In Former Times, In Former Times
And How he Tamed All The Young Girls
And Other Well-Known Lies
He Is The King Of An Island
The King Of An Island What A Score
The King Of An Island
The King Of An Island What A Score
He'll Never Abdicate
