Baby King
Baby King
You got to get ready for a baby king
You might dance daddy
You might sing
But you never seen nothin' like a baby king
It was a bright and sunny summer morn and she
said
Baby let's go below the surface
See what we can find
There's no reason to be nervous
'Cause it happens all the time
I don't want to go up to the mountain
I don't need to go down to the sea
I was driving down Ninth Avenue
As the sky was getting dark
Didn't have nothin' else to do
So I kept on riding to Battery Park
I stepped out in the damp and misty night
As the fog was rolling in
I can see you with the top down
In that car you keep under the eaves
I can see the ocean wind blow
Through your hair
And all along your sleeves
I see you turning up the radio
Listening to the D
Verse 1:
I'm coming to see you, tomorrow sometimeD
Gonna bring you some roses, gonna tear
off the vines
Gonna talk to the wind that blows through the
trees
Kiss you like always from down on my kn
Tonight I cried the tears of a child
Who knows what fear runs deep and wild
Inside
But the river's in flood tonight
I lay down and the light streamed across my face
I felt the beauty of some deep
Lately he can feel it
Turning off inside his heart
She's calling him from the car phone
And she's falling apart
Now he could call in her prescription
And they will take it down off the shelf
My father was a working man
But his work was never done
He stood behind a counter
And he smiled at everyone
He bought himself a business
Worked seven days a week
Took a holiday for Christ
Down along these hillsides
Many miles ago
Lived a man of vision child
But little did I know
He was always talking child
About the heart and soul
'Til one day some pharaoh came
And offered up
