The King of Fools lyrics

She was so good

She was so kind

She made my life

A royal story

I was her king

She was my queen

We lived our life

In all its glory

Then just like Ulysses

I heard the witches cry

I lost my direction

But still I don't know why

I lost your love

My crown and jewels

When they call my name

They call me king

The king of fools

I played my song

And I made her cry

Though I was old

She made me younger

I buried decades of my life

To feel her youth

And feed my hunger

Now castles and mansions

Lie ruined in the sand

People laugh and mock me

Who once obeyed commands

I lost your love

My crown and jewels

When they call my name

They call me king

The king of fools

Only fools know what it's like

To lose and never win

Only fools have broken hearts

Over and over again

So here I am

Alone and weak

With all my powers vastly diminished

I think of you

Oh, by the hour

I know my royal life is finished

I know that I'm pathetic

'Cause I will always be your clown

You have found another

And he now wears my crown

I lost your love

My crown and jewels

When they call my name

They call me king

The king of fools

When they call my name

They call me king

The king of fools
