Song title:
Joni Mitchell - I Had A King
Edit By:
216.73.216.251
I had a king in a tenement castle Lately hes taken to painting the pastel walls brown Hes taken the curtains down Hes swept with the broom of contempt And the rooms have an empty ring Hes cleaned with the tears Of an actor who fears for the laughters sting- (chorus) I cant go back there anymore You know my keys wont fit the door You know my thoughts dont fit the man They never can they never can I had a king dressed in drip-dry and paisley Lately hes taken to saying Im crazy and blind He lives in another time Ladies in gingham still blush While he sings them of wars and wine But I in my leather and lace I can never become that kind - (chorus) I had a king in a salt-rusted carriage Who carried me off to his country for marriage too soon Beware of the power of moons Theres no one to blame No theres no one to name as a traitor here The kings on the road And the queens in the grove till the end of the year- (chorus)
