O i never asked to be your mountain
i never asked to fly
remember when you came to me
and told me of his lies
you didnand't understand my love
you donand't know why i try
and the rain was falling on that day
and damn the reason why
The flying pisces sails for time
and tells me of my child
wrapped in bitter tales and heartache
he begs for just a smile
o he never asked to be her mountain
he never asked to fly
and through his eye he comes his love
and tells her not to cry
She says, andquot;your scoundrel father flies
with a dancer called a queen
and with her stolen cards he plays
and laughs, but never winsandquot;
o the child dreams to be his hands
in the counting of the rain
but only barren breasts he feels
for her milk will never drain
As i die i canand't remember
where i saw the rain:
could it be that her laughter
drove me down again?
charming dancer will you stop,
stop and talk to me?
is there someone else you feel
in your dreams? you will, you see:
in midnight gazes
iand've found you far from me:
if you lead me on
please leave me down
O flying flying fish
please flutter by my door:
yes you can drink my lies
if first you read my eyes:
each one is titled
andquot;iand'm drowning back to youandquot;:
i canand't swim your waters
and you canand't walk my lands:
iand'm sailing all my sins
and iand'm climbing all my fears
and soon now iand'll fly
O i never asked to be your mountain
i never asked to fly
remember when you came to me
and told me of his lies
you didnand't understand my love
you donand't know why i try
and the rain was falling on that day
and thatand's the reason why
Sweet lover, will you come back
and love me for a while?
please take my hand
leave all your fears behind
Iand've been gone too long
now iand'm home to stay
please donand't leave me
again this way
Please come home
