King of Nothing

(lyrics and music by James Seals, 1970)
From the albums UNBORN CHILD (1974), GREATEST HITS (1975) and
THE SEALS & CROFTS COLLECTION (1979).

When I was 17, I dreamed of being king. And having everything I wanted.
But that was long ago and my dreams did not unfold, so I'm still the King of Nothing.
When I was 17, I dreamed I gave a ring to a pretty queen and then I held her.
But that was slumber's fault for I have no love at all. And I'm still the King of Nothing.

If I could rule, I'd dance my cares away, find romance everyday.
I wouldn't have to listen to this poor fool say,
"I'm the King, I'm the King, I'm the King of Nothing."

We recommend: Droopy Skit

(Farrar/Robinson)

I've seen so many smiling faces today
But just what lies behind them I can't see
I've lived my life in many places, you see
Now I don't know just where I wanna be

'Cause home ain't home anymore, no more
My heart ain't here anymore, no more

The years have opened up a canyon it seems
A canyon deep and wide that I can't cross
And though my nomad days have opened my eyes
I've learned that every game must bear a loss

'Cause home ain't home anymore, no more
My heart ain't here anymore, no more

Don't be afraid to tell me
