lyrics

8. Quiet King

Restless skylark
Don’t you know who’s in control of your heart
The wind in the willow
Weeping all alone in the meadow

So long, my friend, so long
Goodbye, my love, goodbye

But before you go just
Tell me, tell me
How you’re gonna leave me all alone
Tell me, tell me
How you’re gonna leave me all alone
When you know loneliness is the quiet king
The quiet king

In his kingdom
Both the pauper and the prince are lonesome
Just daydreaming some way
To mend your broken heart and escape

So long, my friend, so long
Goodbye, my love, goodbye

But before you go just
Tell me, tell me
How you’re gonna leave me all alone
Tell me, tell me
How you’re gonna leave me all alone
When you know loneliness is the quiet king
The quiet king

So long, my friends, so long
Goodbye, my love, goodbye (I gotta leave alone)
So long, my friends, so long
Goodbye, my love, goodbye
