I never asked to be your mountainI never asked to flyRemember when you came to meAnd told me of his liesYou didn't understand my loveYou don't know why I tryAnd the rain was falling on that dayAnd damn the reason whyThe flying Pisces sails for timeAnd tells me of my childWrapped in bitter tales and heartacheHe begs for just a smileOh, he never asked to be her mountainHe never asked to flyAnd through his eye he comes his loveAnd tells her not to cryShe says, Your scoundrel father fliesWith a dancer called a queenAnd with her stolen cards he playsAnd laughs but never winsOh, the child dreams to be his handsIn the counting of the rainBut only barren breasts he feelsFor her milk will never drainAs I die I can't rememberWhere I saw the rainCould it be that her laughterDrove me down again?Charming dancer, will you stopStop and talk to me?Is there someone else you feelIn your dreams?You will, you see in midnight gazesI've found you far from meIf you lead me onPlease, leave me downOh, flying, flying fishCome and flutter by my doorYou can drink my liesIf first you read my eyesEach one is titled'I'm drowning back to you'And I can't swim your watersAnd you can't walk my landsI'm sailing all my sinsAnd I'm climbing all my fearsAnd soon now I'll flyMy love is the flowerThat lies among the gravesMy love is the thousand souls and saintsAnd all the insane madmenTell me I'm not as love behavesMaybe not in lands of menThat spread my ash along the waysI wanna feel the titles to meLike a woman drunken saidI wanna feel the fish swim through meLet the water tag my skinWrapped around the pebbleThat you choose to warm your handJust as I dream everydayAs I pray you'll understandI never asked to be your mountainI never asked to flyRemember when you came to meAnd told me of his liesYou didn't understand my loveYou don't know why I tryAnd the rain was falling on that dayDamn, the reason whyDamn, the reason whySweet lover, will you come backAnd love me for a while?Please, take my handAnd leave your fears behindI've been gone too longNow, I'm home to stayDon't leave me again this wayDon't leave me again this wayDon't leave me again this wayPlease, come home
