King Rides By - Cat Power

If time had a place

And space for your past

Like a little novel

You 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 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

Need your love more than you’ll ever know

A light kiss, the touch of 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

All of 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

'Til your well is gone
