King of Rome

Small man, big world
Lost beyond the pale
I know you inside out
I can tell the taleAcross the sky the change of time
Last night I lost all day
I'm here and there or anywhere
Away from ManderleyAnd 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 magicOh baby come back
Oh baby come back to meThe desert moon, a new lagoon
We glide upon the surface
Night falls fast, no shadows cast
Arriving without purposeOh baby call me
Oh baby call me todayAnd 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 meOh baby call me
Oh baby call me todayI long for your inscrutable pale face
I hunger for your beautiful embrace
