I Had A King - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]
Written by:David Crosby[00:00:01]
I had a king in a tenement castle[00:00:10]
Lately he's taken[00:00:14]
To painting the pastel walls brown[00:00:15]
He's taken the curtains down[00:00:21]
He's swept with the broom of contempt[00:00:27]
And the rooms have an empty ring[00:00:30]
He's cleaned with the tears[00:00:35]
Of an actor[00:00:37]
Who fears for the laughter's sting[00:00:38]
I can't go back there anymore[00:00:47]
You know my keys won't fit the door[00:00:51]
You know my thoughts don't fit the man[00:00:56]
They never can[00:01:01]
They never can[00:01:04]
I had a king dressed in drip dry and paisley[00:01:09]
Lately he's taken to saying[00:01:14]
I'm crazy and blind[00:01:16]
He lives in another time[00:01:20]
Ladies in gingham still blush[00:01:26]
While he sings them of wars[00:01:29]
And wine[00:01:32]
But I in my leather and lace[00:01:35]
I can never become that kind[00:01:38]
I can't go back there anymore[00:01:47]
You know my keys won't fit the door[00:01:51]
You know my thoughts don't fit the man[00:01:55]
They never can[00:02:00]
They never can[00:02:04]
I had a king in a salt rusted carriage[00:02:09]
Who carried me off to[00:02:13]
His country for marriage too soon[00:02:15]
Beware of the power of moons[00:02:20]
There's no one to blame[00:02:26]
No there's no one to name[00:02:27]
As a traitor here[00:02:30]
The kings on the road[00:02:35]
And the queens in the grove[00:02:37]
Till the end of the year[00:02:40]
I can't go back there anymore[00:02:47]
You know my keys won't fit the door[00:02:51]
You know my thoughts don't fit the man[00:02:56]
They never can[00:03:00]
They never can[00:03:05]
They never can[00:03:11]
They never can[00:03:14]
