Kingston Town Lyrics
[00:18.88] The night seems to fade
[00:23.42] But the moonlight lingers on
[00:28.01] There are wonders for everyone, oh
[00:34.97]
[00:37.11] The stars shine so bright
[00:42.54] But they're fading after dawn
[00:46.76] There is magic in Kingston Town
[00:53.82] Oh, Kingston Town
[00:58.90]
[01:01.42] The place I long to be
[01:05.84] If I had the whole world
[01:08.71] I would give it away
[01:10.67] Just to see the girls at play
[01:16.53]
[01:19.33] When I am king
[01:24.53] Surely I would need a queen
[01:29.03] And a palace and everything, yeah
[01:35.78]
[01:38.38] And now I am king
[01:43.25] And my queen will come at dawn
