King Of The Night
|
(J. Lyon/M. Noble)
|
|
Battered old hands, black leather jacket
|
Sad, mournful cat, sweet moonlit racket
|
And I slid through the alleys
|
Like some old town stalking
|
As I go out walking, King of the Night
|
King of the Night
|
|
Night's curtain falls, soft velvet texture
|
A saxophone calls some ballad by Dexter
|
Yea, I'm dresses in my best and the locals are gawking
|
I hear them talking, King of the Night
|
When I'm out in my kingdom
|
Cares if the world take flight
|
King of the Night
|
|
Someone is waiting
|
A falling star's creating
|
Anticipation in the air
|
Hidden in the craters of the moon
|
She's there
|
|
Damp morning streets
|
Small town awakens
|
Warm rumbled sheets
|
And the smell of bacon
|
I peek through kitchen windows
|
And see couples talking
|
As I finish walking, King of the Night
|
Watching over his kingdom
|
As it fades in the morning light
|
King of the Night
|
King of the Night
|
