I remember as the seasons turned to fall
Wind was sitting and the leaves fell a hinting a sign
Of the near winter's ball
Chill in the air as I strolled down the back steps
Looking for a tale to tell
Then she slipped me a stare as I slid into my chair
She already knew me too wellShe said, "Hello" in that beautiful voice
My reply was nowhere as sweet
She seemed impressed by the state of my mess
She laughed at the wigs on my feet
Offered me a cigarette but before I could even refuse
We were standing alone and she was chilled to the bone
She told me to sing the bluesHey, hey now I feel alright and I just wanted to see
If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonightSo I told her of the books I'd read and details about the time
How I stole 6 dollars from a man named Jed
To turn around and pay him back 9
Quoted my favorite poem but I ended it terribly wrong
She said, "I understand" and then she clapped both her hands
And said "That's my favorite song"Hey hey now I feel alright and I just wanted to see
If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight
If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonightJust then a man walked in and took her away
She said her sweet goodbye and I'll see you again one day
So it was over and I was standing right here all alone
And I said to myself as I dusted my shelf
This time I think it was loveHey, hey now I feel alright and I just wanted to see
If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonightHey hey now I feel alright and I just wanted to see
If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight
If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight
