Lyrics for King of Rome

Small man Big world Lost beyond the pale I know you Inside out I can tell the tale Across the sky A change of time Last night I lost a day I'm here and there Or anywhere Away from Manderley And if I were The King of Rome I couldn't be more tragic My fate to roam So far from home In search of my lost magic Oh, baby come back Oh, baby come back to me The desert moon A new lagoon We glide upon the surface Night falls fast No shadows cast Arriving without purpose Oh, baby call me Oh, baby call me today And if I were The King of Rome I couldn't be more lonely With so much scope To dream and hope Someday you'll deign to phone me Oh, baby call me Oh, baby call me today I long for Your inscrutable pale face I hunger for Your beautiful embrace
