Mr King Tab

by Nerina Pallot


Intro:   

  
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, this was in the books you gave me,
   
Which I read, disbelieving, thinking poets are depressed,
    
Oh, Mr. King, I have changed, I confess.
