Can you still remember how it all began?
|
With clipper ships and pink electric trees,
|
Dawnlight on a skyline bridges' span,
|
Street light on a rooftop memory.
|
Then it was me and spring came,
|
Playing a song of spring rain,
|
A melody in your name.
|
|
Night now comes much bluer than it used to be.
|
The pink nun sings much sadder than before.
|
She sings that sometimes things aren't what they
|
Seem to be, like moons reflected on the sixteenth floor.
|
Love is no more, it's ended.
|
Paper and pins won't mend it;
|
Even the moon pretended.
|
|
There must be a reason, oh, there must be one.
|
Keep your answers, let me find my own.
|
Where do pretty stories get their endings from
|
If loving always leaves you all alone?
|
Kisses have shown me sorrow;
|
Love is a throne to borrow;
|
Pay for the loan tomorrow
|
