I Had A King (LP版) - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]

I had a king in a tenement castle[00:00:10]

Lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown[00:00:14]

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 who fears for the laughter's sting[00:00:37]

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 they never can[00:01:01]

I had a king dressed in drip dry and paisley[00:01:09]

Lately he's taken to saying I'm crazy and blind[00:01:14]

He lives in another time[00:01:20]

Ladies in gingham still blush[00:01:26]

While he sings them of wars and wine[00:01:29]

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 they never can[00:02:00]

I had a king in a salt rusted carriage[00:02:09]

Who carried me off to his country for marriage too soon[00:02:13]

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 as a traitor here[00:02:28]

The king's on the road[00:02:35]

And the queen's in the grove till the end of the year[00:02:37]

I can't go back there anymore[00:02:47]

You know my keys won't fit the door[00:02:52]

You know my thoughts don't fit the man[00:02:56]

They never can they never can[00:03:01]

They never can they never can[00:03:11]
