lirik lagu vance gilbert - king of rome
[verse 1]
in the west end of derby lives a working man
says “i can’t fly but me pigeons can
and when i sets them free
it’s just like part of me
gets lifted up on shining wings”
[verse 2]
now charlie hudson’s pigeon loft was down the yard
in a rented house in brooke street where life was hard
but charlie had a dream
and in 1913
charlie bred a pigeon that made his dreams come true
[verse 3]
now there was going to be a champions’ race from italy
we looked over the maps, all that land and sea
“charlie, you’ll losе that bird”
but charlie never hеard
he put it in a basket and sent it off to rome
[verse 4]
on the day of the big race a storm blew in
a thousand birds were swept away and never seen again
“charlie we told you so
surely by now you know
when you’re living in the west end ain’t many dreams come true”
[verse 5]
“yeah, i know, but i had to try
you can crawl around your whole life or you can learn to fly
and when you’re living here
the ground seems awful near
and sometimes i need a lift to victory”
[verse 6]
well i was out with me mates for a pint or two
when i saw a wing flash up in the blue
“charlie, it’s the king of rome
he’s come back to his west end home
come out quick, he’s perched up on your roof”
[verse 7]
“come on down, your majesty
i knew you’d make it back to me
come on down, me lonely one
ye made me dream come true”
[verse 8]
in the west end of derby lives a working man
he says “i can’t fly but me pigeons can
and when i sets them free
it’s just like part of me
gets lifted up on shining wings”
