I remember as the seasons turned to fall
Wind was sitting and the leaves fell
A hinting sign of the near winter's ball
Chill in the air as I strolled down the front steps
Looking for a tale to tell
Then she slipped me a stare as I slid into my chair
She already knew me too well
She said hello in that beautiful voice
My reply was nowhere as sweet
She seemed impressed by the state of my mess
Laughed at the wings on my feet
Offered me a cigarette
And before I could even refuse
We were standing alone
She was chilled to the bone
She told me to sing the blues
Hey hey now I feel alright
And I just wanted to see
If I may, if I might
Be the king of your world tonight
So I told her of the books I'd read
And details about the time
I stole 6 dollars from a man named Jed
Just to turn around and pay him back 9
Quoted my favorite poem
But I ended it terribly wrong
She said I understand
Then she clapped both her hands
And said that's my favorite song
Hey hey now I feel alright
And I just wanted to see
If I may, if I might
Be the king of your world tonight
Just then a man walked in and took her away
She said her sweet goodbye
I'll see you again some day
So it was over
And I was standing there all alone
And I said to myself
As I dusted my shelf
This time I think it was love
