I Used To Be A King

(album: Another Stoney Evening - 1998)

I used to be a king
And everything around me turned to gold
I thought I had everything
Now I'm left without a hand to hold

But it's alright, I'm okay, how are you
For what it's worth I must say I love you
And in my bed late at night, I miss you

Someone is gonna take my heart, no-one is gonna break my heart again

I used to be a king
And everything around me turned to rust
It's cos I built my life on sand
And I watched it crumble in the dust

Yeah but it's alright, I'm okay, I want to know how you are
For what it's worth I must say I loved you as you are
In my bed where are you

Someone is gonna take my heart, no-one is gonna break my heart again
Someone is gonna take my heart, no-one is gonna break my heart again

I used to be a king
But everything around me turned around
But I know all I have to do is sing
And I'll lift myself way off the ground

Yeah, but it's alright, I'm okay, how are you
For what it's worth I must say I love you
And in my bed late at night God how I miss you

Someone is gonna take my heart, no-one is gonna break my heart again
