Cat Power - king rides by

시간과 공간을 통해 과거의 사랑을 다시 읽고 싶어하는 마음을 나타내며, 그 사랑이 자신에게 얼마나 중요한지를 강조한다
'왕'의 등장으로 인해 겪는 감정의 소용돌이와 다른 사람에게 사랑을 빼앗기는 아픔을 표현하고 있다
사랑의 필요성을 절실히 이야기하며 그리움과 이해받지 못함에 대한 갈망이 느껴진다

If time had a place
And space for your past
Like a little novel
You wanted to read again and again
Would I be in your novel?
Would I begin and end in it?
If I had a place
And space for your little boy eyes
Could you really believe?
I certainly dare you
I do not want to scare you
Anymore
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides by
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides
Straight through my heart
Straight through my life
Need your love more than you'll ever know
A light kiss, the touch of your hand
A million things I will never understand
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades in
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades
All of my love
For someone else's hand
Need your love more than you'll ever know
