Oh  doc, I feel as though it's time
 To leave before the lights go on
My  soul was cast into the fire
 I felt the sound, it burned me twice
I  saw my life in front of me
 I looked upset, it ain't never framed
Birthdays  when nobody came
 Baptisms and an empty lane
I  don't want to be king for a day
Oh  doc, I know just how you feel
 When love arrived and then revealed
The  moutains that stood in my way
 No longer did I need to shake
When  angels come to take us home
 I leave you here to man the phones
And  don't hang up if when I call
 To wish you well from clouds beyond
I  don't want to be king for a day
I  don't want to be king for a day
I  don't want to be king for a day
