Kingston Town Lyrics
[00:18.50] The night seems to fade
[00:22.93] But the moonlight lingers on
[00:27.75] There are wonders for everyone, oh
[00:34.70]
[00:37.59] The stars shine so bright
[00:41.95] But they're fading after dawn
[00:46.94] There is magic in Kingston Town
[00:52.89]
[00:56.83] Oh, Kingston Town
[01:01.09] The place I long to be
[01:05.56] If I had the whole world
[01:08.25] I would give it away
[01:10.08] Just to see the girls at play
[01:15.94]
[01:20.12] When I am king
[01:24.32] Surely I would need a queen
[01:29.12] And a palace and everything, yeah
