King of Rome

Small man, big world
Lost beyond the pale
I know you inside out
I can tell the tale

Across the sky the change of time
Last night I lost all day
I'm here and there or anywhere
Away from Manderley

And 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 magic

Oh baby come back
Oh baby come back to me

The desert moon, a new lagoon
We glide upon the surface
Night falls fast, no shadows cast
Arriving without purpose

Oh baby call me
Oh baby call me today

And 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 me

Oh baby call me
Oh baby call me today

I long for your inscrutable pale face
I hunger for your beautiful embrace
