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   And tells me of my child   Wrapped in bitter tales and heartache   He begs for just a smile      Oh, 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, "Your scoundrel father flies   With a dancer called a queen   And with her stolen cards he plays   And laughs but never wins"      Oh, 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      Oh, flying, flying fish   Come and flutter by my door   You can drink my lies   If first you read my eyes      Each one is titled   'I'm drowning back to you'   And 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      My love is the flower   That lies among the graves   My love is the thousand souls and saints   And all the insane madmen      Tell me I'm not as love behaves   Maybe not in lands of men   That spread my ash along the ways      I wanna feel the titles to me   Like a woman drunken said   I wanna feel the fish swim through me   Let the water tag my skin      Wrapped around the pebble   That you choose to warm your hand   Just as I dream everyday   As I pray you'll understand      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   Damn, the reason why   Damn, the reason why      Sweet lover, will you come back   And love me for a while?   Please, take my hand   And leave your fears behind      I've been gone too long   Now, I'm home to stay   Don't leave me again this way      Don't leave me again this way   Don't leave me again this way   Please, come home
