Philip Lynott - King's Call lyrics

rate me

It was a rainy night the night the king went down

Everybody was crying it seemed like sadness had surrounded the town

Me I went to the liquor store

And I bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of gin

I played his records all night

Drinking with a close, close friend

Now some people say that that ain't right

And some people say nothing at all

But even in the darkest of night

You can always hear the king's call

You can always hear the king's call

Well they put him away in Memphis

Six feet beneath the clay

Everybody was crying

Everybody said it was a plain grey day

Me I went to the liquor store

And I bought another bottle of wine and another bottle of gin

I played his records all night

And I got drunk all over again

Now some people say that that ain't right

That ain't right

And some people say nothing at all

I say nothing

But even in the darkest of night

You could always hear the king's call

You could always hear the king's call

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight

And I'd rather go on hearing your lies

Than to go on living without you

Now some people say that that ain't right

And some people say nothing at all I say nothing

But even in the darkest of night

You could always hear the king's call

You could always hear the king's call

You could always hear the king's call

Now the stage is bare and I'm standing here

They might as well bring the curtain down

I cried the night the king died
