King's Call Lyrics - Singles - Philip Lynott

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 gray 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 

And some people say nothing at all 

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 

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) 

You could always hear the king's call 

You could always hear the king's call 

(They might as well bring the curtain down) 

You could always hear the king's call 

You could always hear the king's call 

(I cried the night the king died) 

You could always hear the king's call 

You could always hear the king's call 

(You could always hear the king's call) 

You could always hear the king's call 

([Incomprehensible])
