It was a spinning song about the king of rock 'n' roll
The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best
With his black jelly hair he crashed onto a stage in Vegas
The king had a queen, the queen's hair was a stairway
She tended the castle garden, and in the garden planted a tree
The garden tree was a stairway, it was sixteen branches high
On the top branch was a nest, sing the high cloudy nest
In the nest was a bird, the bird had a wing
The wing had a feather, spin the feather and sing the wind
The king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow
And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird
But the feather spun upward, upward and upward
Spinning all the weather vanes, and you're sitting at the kitchen table, listening to the radio
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you, and I love you
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you
Peace will come, a peace will come, a peace will come in time
A time will come, a time will come, a time will come for us
Peace will come, a peace will come, a peace will come in time
A time will come, a time will come, a time will come for us
Once there was a song, the song yearned to be sung It was a spinning song about the king of rock 'n' roll The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best With his black jelly hair he crashed onto a stage in Vegas The king had a queen, the queen's hair was a stairway She tended the castle garden, and in the garden planted a tree The garden tree was a stairway, it was sixteen branches high On the top branch was a nest, sing the high cloudy nest In the nest was a bird, the bird had a wing The wing had a feather, spin the feather and sing the wind The king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird But the feather spun upward, upward and upward Spinning all the weather vanes, and you're sitting at the kitchen table, listening to the radio And I love you, and I love you, and I love you, and I love you And I love you, and I love you, and I love you Peace will come, a peace will come, a peace will come in time A time will come, a time will come, a time will come for us Peace will come, a peace will come, a peace will come in time A time will come, a time will come, a time will come for us Explain Request ×
