Mr King |
| Good days, bad days, I’ve had a few of those |
| Same old story-I know how this song goes |
| At least, I did, but now I’m not so sure |
| Nothing’s in its place, nothing’s certain anymore |
| Birds fly, trees sway, why can’t I be like that? |
| Happy knowing what I am, in fact and leaving be? |
| But truth has been obscured |
| I am only human and I’m always wanting… more |
| Oh, the world is a place and they say it’s on our side |
| But I wonder, is there comfort in those moments when we die? |
| Now I see, Mr. King, that was in the books you gave me |
| Which I read, disbelieving, thinking poets are depressed |
| Oh, Mr. King, I have changed, I confess |
| Oh, those good days I remember well: |
| Tape on windows, wintertime was hell |
| But it was fun, and people there were kind |
| There was good work to be done, and I learnt to think my time |
| And the world was a good place, and in days were where I lived |
| I imagined life had purpose and I’d something good to give |
| Mr. Cave played along on the battered hallway piano |
| Oh, every love song a secret to be shared |
| Hey, Mr. King, how I wish I was back there |
| Now, I’ve got 10 things lined up on a shelf |
| Reasons to be cheerful for myself |
| I don’t know why you’re showing me the sky |
| You say you see heaven |
| I see hell, but want to try |
| And the world is a place, and I pray it’s on my side |
| But I’d find greater comfort if I just lay down and died |
| I don’t know what’s become of the girl who once knew sunshine |
| What’s become of the girl who knew sorrow but was strong? |
| Hey, Mr. King you were right, all along |
| Mr. King you were right |
| Oh, Mr. King, you were right-I was wrong |
