Lyrics for King Rides By

If time had a place And space for your past Like a little novel You wanted to read again and again Would I be in your novel? Would I begin and end in it? If I had a place And space for your little boy eyes Could you really believe? I certainly dare you I do not want to scare you Anymore Oh, what a fuss when the king rides by Oh, what a fuss when the king rides Straight through my heart Straight through my life Need your love more than you'll ever know A light kiss, the touch of your hand A million things I will never understand Oh, what a fuss when the king trades in Oh, what a fuss when the king trades All of my love For someone else's hand Need your love more than you'll ever know You don't miss your water You don't miss your water 'Til your well is gone
