There's nothing below us anymore A carpet of clouds, and the sky's the floor I've seen faces love and lose it all A gambling train, it's criminal
Our love is like a rose It blooms and then it goes A pocketful of gold An eyelash on the nose
I could've loved you But the day's already gone I could've held you But the Sun's already shone I could've kept you Would you stay longer than a leap year If I fall asleep here?
I carve the time away in my ivory hall I sing my songs, and I climb the walls The clock is ticking murder at me now A solitude, insufferable
Our love is like an ache It keeps you lying awake Four times around the Sun I'd walk a mile to run
I could've loved you But the day's already past I could've seen you shine But the Moon just didn't last I could've held you Would you stay longer than a leap year If I fall asleep here?
