To A King

(album: Voyeur - 2002)

You
Simple, dull, and slow
Know every single curve of him
This guy is at your command
Is that what you think of your man?
Well he
In this painting that I made of him
Looking at the door
He has a beautiful face
With a longing you could taste
To you he's worth hardly a second glance
How could you see your lover this way?
How could someone like me ever say

[chorus]
I'm just a woman kneeling down to a king
A lord of the world
I'm just a woman dying to be his queen
His only girl
But when you look into his eyes
Who makes him cry?

You
Walk around him nearly every day

Do you see his pain?
You'll never fall in love like me
Why don't you walk away?
How could I see your lover this way

To you he's worth hardly a second glance

[chorus]

How could someone like you ever say

I'm just a woman kneeling down to a king
The lord of the world
I'm just a woman dying to be his queen
The only girl
I'm just a woman kneeling down to a king
But you still have the chance to keep the best of everything
That's what he's done to me
That you never see
You make him cry'Cause when you look into his eyes
