I bought you tickets for the waterfalls And you poured away all the change Trained your bicycle to dance Told it tales of window boxes and people with locks While you filed away the time And lost the place in the river Couldn't do anything about the days But I helped with some of the nights You worked my blisters to the bone Playing songs of tiny men and bridges in wine While you led the time astray And lost your head in the rainbow You never saw anything glittering But you had to melt it down I made you rivers all run dry Soaked them up with train timetables and carpets of lies And I listened to your smile And found my place in the morning
