《I Had a King》歌词

[00:00:00] I Had a King - Joni Mitchell (琼尼·米契儿)

[00:00:05] Written by：David Crosby

[00:00:10] I had a king in a tenement castle

[00:00:14] Lately he's taken

[00:00:15] To painting the pastel walls brown

[00:00:21] He's taken the curtains down

[00:00:27] He's swept with the broom of contempt

[00:00:30] And the rooms have an empty ring

[00:00:35] He's cleaned with the tears

[00:00:37] Of an actor

[00:00:38] Who fears for the laughter's sting

[00:00:47] I can't go back there anymore

[00:00:51] You know my keys won't fit the door

[00:00:56] You know my thoughts don't fit the man

[00:01:01] They never can

[00:01:04] They never can

[00:01:09] I had a king dressed in drip dry and paisley

[00:01:14] Lately he's taken to saying

[00:01:16] I'm crazy and blind

[00:01:20] He lives in another time

[00:01:26] Ladies in gingham still blush

[00:01:29] While he sings them of wars

[00:01:32] And wine

[00:01:35] But I in my leather and lace

[00:01:38] I can never become that kind

[00:01:47] I can't go back there anymore

[00:01:51] You know my keys won't fit the door

[00:01:55] You know my thoughts don't fit the man

[00:02:00] They never can

[00:02:04] They never can

[00:02:09] I had a king in a salt rusted carriage

[00:02:13] Who carried me off to

[00:02:15] His country for marriage too soon

[00:02:20] Beware of the power of moons

[00:02:26] There's no one to blame

[00:02:27] No there's no one to name

[00:02:30] As a traitor here

[00:02:35] The kings on the road

[00:02:37] And the queens in the grove

[00:02:40] Till the end of the year

[00:02:47] I can't go back there anymore

[00:02:51] You know my keys won't fit the door

[00:02:56] You know my thoughts don't fit the man

[00:03:00] They never can

[00:03:05] They never can

[00:03:11] They never can

[00:03:14] They never can
