King Of Rome
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.
Small man, big world
Lost beyond the pale
I know you inside out
I can tell the tale
Across the sky a change of time
Last night I lost all day
I'm here and there, or anywhere
away from Mandelay
And if I were the King of Rome
I couldn't be more tragic
My fate to roam so far from home
In search of mindless magic
Oh, baby come back
Oh, baby come back to me
The desert moon, a new lagoon
We glide upon the surface
Night falls fast, no shadows cast
Arriving without purpose
Oh, baby call me
Oh, baby call me today
And if I were the King of Rome
I couldn't be more lonely
With so much scope to dream and hope
someday you'll deign to phone me
Oh, baby call me
Oh, baby call me today
I long for your inscrutable pale face
I hunger for your beautiful embrace
