King of Rome

[Verse 1]
Small man, big world
Lost beyond the pale
I know you
Inside out
I can tell the tale

[Verse 2]
Across the sky
The change of time
Last night I lost all day
I'm here and there
I'm anywhere
Away from Manderley

[Chorus]
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 last magic

[Refrain]
Oh, baby come back
Oh, baby come back to me

[Verse 3]
The desert moon
A new lagoon
We glide upon the surface
Night falls fast
My shadow's cast
Arriving with a purpose

[Refrain]
Oh, baby call me
Oh, baby call me today

[Chorus]
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

[Refrain]
Oh, baby call me
Oh, baby call me today

[Outro]
I long for your inscrutable, pale face
I hunger for your beautiful embrace
