King Rides By

Artists : Cat Power : King Rides By

If time had a place
And space for your past
Like a little novel
I 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 a 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

I need your love more than you'll ever know

If I kissed and touched 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

Oh, love, 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
'Till your well is gone
