"I Used To Be A King" lyrics - SHAWN COLVIN

I used to be a King and everything around me turned to gold
I thought I had everything and now I'm left without a hand to hold

But it's all right I'm O.K. How are you?
For what it's worth I must say I loved you
And in my bed late at night, I miss you
Someone is going to take my heart
But no one is going to break my heart again

I used to be a King and everything around me turned to rust
It's 'cause I built my life on sand
And I watched it crumble in the dust

But it's all right I'm O.K. and I want to know
How you are
For what it's worth I must say I loved you as you are
And in my bed where are you?
Someone is going to take my heart
But no one is going to break my heart again

I used to be a King and everything around me turned around
But I know all I have to do is sing
And I'll lift myself way off the ground

Yeah, but it's all right I'm O.K. How are you?
For what it's worth I must say I loved you
And in my bed late at night where are you?
Someone is going to take my heart
But no one is going to break my heart again
