Wish

I remember as the seasons turned to fall

Wind was sitting and the leaves fell a hinting a sign

Of the near winter's ball

Chill in the air as I strolled down the back steps

Looking for a tale to tell

Then she slipped me a stare as I slid into my chair

She already knew me too well

She said, "Hello" in that beautiful voice

My reply was nowhere as sweet

She seemed impressed by the state of my mess

She laughed at the wigs on my feet

Offered me a cigarette but before I could even refuse

We were standing alone and she was chilled to the bone

She told me to sing the blues

Hey, hey now I feel alright and I just wanted to see

If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight

So I told her of the books I'd read and details about the time

How I stole 6 dollars from a man named Jed

To turn around and pay him back 9

Quoted my favorite poem but I ended it terribly wrong

She said, "I understand" and then she clapped both her hands

And said "That's my favorite song"

Hey hey now I feel alright and I just wanted to see

If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight

If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight

Just then a man walked in and took her away

She said her sweet goodbye and I'll see you again one day

So it was over and I was standing right here all alone

And I said to myself as I dusted my shelf

This time I think it was love

Hey, hey now I feel alright and I just wanted to see

If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight

Hey hey now I feel alright and I just wanted to see

If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight

If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight
