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 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   O 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"   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
