Al Stewart - King Of Portugal Lyrics

Hey....Peter White's solo is the same exact one he did on "Running Man" just repurposed.
Heard this a million times before I ever noticed lolol

This song is solid gold. Al Stewart is a “hidden gem” of an artist

To the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge a song for you!

Muy buena composicion

GREAT!! I'm Portuguese and I didn´t know this song!! :D

"Dreamed I was the King of Portugal
In a big four poster bed
Noble tapestries from wall to wall
And a crown upon my head
Bells ring and servants bring
The jewels and the robes
For the night to begin

Would you love me forever
If I had everything
Would you love me forever
If I were a king

Then it seemed that I was travelling
Through the granite hills of Dao
With a vineyard spread in front of me
In a carriage headed south
Night came with the skies aflame
And all that I saw
Was all mine to claim

There are those that can tell you
What your fantasies mean
But I don't feel the need to
Understand everything"

Love this song...love this man's music! Been a fan for about 100 years!! LOL!! :)

GREAT A MAN WITH QUITE A LOTTA MUSICAL STUFF !!!

Yes his story telling is a treasure trove

I'M back to LOVE this song and AL Stewart after 20 years, still LOVING you.

Al Stewart is a very underrated lyrical artist and musician. I have enjoyed his historical storytelling over the last 40 years.

Someone overheard me listening to this and asked if it was Level 42

Martys dead you know! what hump?

I love this song and gives me a fantasy to dream...

Cojonuda, casi me gusta mas que el año del cat, no la conocia toma 3128 estrellas.

Who gives a flyingfuckk anout the king of portugal Al? Do a song about the 30000000 chinees that mao had starved to death between 1958 and 1962 kool

dave alen .....read your post and then let out a big long satisfying fart.

If there was any justice in the world this whole album would have been a massive hit, alas it's not that well known which is more the pity but, frankly this is one of Stewart's best albums when taken as a whole. There's truly not a bad track on the entire record.

I agree 100%, I played this continuously for months.   could not get enough.

kirin2112 .....it has a great vibrancy. If you could see it as a coloured print it would be full of vivid hues.

I wish I had posted this.

Surprisingly Stewart. Starts like a level42 number. Great song

can anyone post the entire album again? I was a subscriber to one who did, but he closed his account. :( LOVED this entire record (yes, I had it on vinyl)...pleas, please, please...someone help my sudden obsession! LOL

I like this Album i own it on Cassette My favorite is Red Toupee and Joesphine Baker
