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?
