[Verse 1] Well the gray sky opens up and the water starts to pour I’m a shadow standing on a rusted basement door Got no roof above my head, got no shoes upon my feet Just the rhythm of the rain hitting down upon the street [Chorus] Oh, the king of the homeless got a kingdom made of stone Underneath the railway bridge where the wind is all alone Got no gold inside my pockets, got no gold upon my crown Just a king without a castle when the rain is pouring down [Verse 2] Hear that saxophone a-wailing like a whistle in the dark Got a six-string in my arms that’s still got a little spark Blow that harp, mister, blow it till the morning light breaks through When you’re sleeping in the alley, every day is twice as blue [Chorus] Oh, the king of the homeless got a kingdom made of stone Underneath the railway bridge where the wind is all alone Got no gold inside my pockets, got no gold upon my crown Just a king without a castle when the rain is pouring down [Outro] [Instrumental] [Sound of heavy rain] [Rumble of distant thunder] [Fade out]
