   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 didn’t understand my love
  You don’t know why I try
  And the rain was falling on that day
  And damn the reason why
  
  The flying pisces sails for time
  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
  Through his eye he comes his love
  And tells her not to cry
  
  She says, “your scoundrel father flies
  With a dancer called a queen
  With her stolen cards he plays
  And laughs, but never wins”
  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 can’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
  I’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
  “I’m drowning back to you”:
  I can’t swim your waters
  And you can’t walk my lands:
  I’m sailing all my sins
  And I’m climbing all my fears
  And soon now I’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 didn’t understand my love
  You don’t know why I try
  And the rain was falling on that day
  And that’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
  
  I’ve been gone too long
  Now I’m home to stay
  Please don’t leave me
  Again this way
  
  Please come home
