June Tabor - The King of Rome lyrics
In the West-end of Darby lives a working man. He says I can’t fly but my pigeons can. And when I set them free, it’s just like a part of me. Gets lifted on shining wings Charley lead six pigeon lofters down in the yard. Of a rented house in Brookstreet, where live was hard. But Charley had a dream, and in 1913. Charley bread a pigeon that made his dream come true. There was gonna be a champions race from Italy We got out the maps for that land and see. Charley you will lose that bird, but Charley never heard. He put it in an basket and send it of to Rome. On the day of the big race the storm blew in A 1000 birds swept away and never seen again Charley we told you so, surely by now you know When your living in the West-end not many dreams come true. Yeah I know but I had to try. A man can crawl around or he can learn to fly. And if you live round here the ground seems awful near. Sometimes I need a lift from victory. I was off with my mates for a pint or two When I saw a wing flash up in the bleu. Charley it’s the king of Rome, come back to his West-end home Come outside quick he’s perched upon your roof Come on down your majesty I knew you’d make it back to me Come on down my lovely one. You made my dream come true. In the West-end of Darby lives a working man. He said I can’t fly but my pigeons can. And when I set them free, it’s just like a part of me. Gets lifted on shining wings |
