Now dreams cast aside
In the fading light your crown of thorns becomes a halo of branching horns
And yet so beautiful
I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws
Slumming in the shack Tony built last year
I know you’ll be holding court with jackdaws
Crying when nobody ever sees your tears
When no-one sees your tears
What used to fly us from here to the stratosphere
What became of our passion
Is there no-one who cares
Hear the soft minor key of the one time me
Still the acrobat with my heart on my sleeve
And it’s so beautiful
I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws…
Out back where the gates are closed
Like a pitiful skeleton pose
We held our first line of defence
Saw our likeness and it made no sense
Like toy soldiers in the muck and dirt
Salvation in your every word
Lost in the fray of everyday
I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws…
You’re still fighting, I see, like a modern day Bruce Lee
Standing proud in this parody
Hello old lovers of mine, my little boy wishes of fortune’s kisses Now dreams cast aside In the fading light your crown of thorns becomes a halo of branching horns And yet so beautiful I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws Slumming in the shack Tony built last year I know you’ll be holding court with jackdaws Crying when nobody ever sees your tears When no-one sees your tears What used to fly us from here to the stratosphere What became of our passion Is there no-one who cares Hear the soft minor key of the one time me Still the acrobat with my heart on my sleeve And it’s so beautiful I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws… Out back where the gates are closed Like a pitiful skeleton pose We held our first line of defence Saw our likeness and it made no sense Like toy soldiers in the muck and dirt Salvation in your every word Lost in the fray of everyday I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws… You’re still fighting, I see, like a modern day Bruce Lee Standing proud in this parody Explain Request ×
