It's fairly simple, you'll be able figure most of it out.
DO I never asked to be your mountain I Cnever asked to fly ReDmember when you came to me And Ctold me of his lies You Ddidn't understand my love You Cdon't know why I try And the Drain was falling on that day And Cdamn the reason why
The DFlying Pisces sails for time And Ctells me of my child DWrapped in bitter tales and heartache He Cbegs for just a smile O he Dnever asked to be her mountain He Cnever asked to fly And Dthrough his eye he comes his love And Ctells her not to cry
She Dsays, "Your scoundrel father flies With a Cdancer called a queen And Dwith her stolen cards he plays And Claughs, but never wins O the Dchild dreams to be his hands In the Ccounting of the rain But Donly barren breasts he feels For her Cmilk will never drain
GAs I die I Fcan't remember GWhere I Fsaw the rain Could it Gbe that her laughter Drove me Fdown again' Charming Gdancer will you stop, Stop and Ftalk to me' Is there Gsomeone else you feel In your Fdreams' you will, you see: GIn midnight gazes I've Ffound you far from me If you Glead me on Please Fleave me down
O GFlying Flying Fish Please Fflutter by my door Yes Gyou can drink my lies If Ffirst you read my eyes: GEach one is titled "F;I'm drowning back to you"; GI can't swim your waters And Fyou can't walk my lands: I'm Gsailing all my sins And I'm Fclimbing all my fears And soon now I'll Dfly C D C
O DI never asked to be your mountain I Cnever asked to fly ReDmember when you came to me And Ctold me of his lies You Ddidn't understand my love You Cdon't know why I try And the Drain was falling on that day And Cthat's the reason why
Sweet Dlover, will you come back And Clove me for a while' DPlease take my hand Leave Call your fears behind I've been Dgone too long Now I'm Chome to stay DPlease don't leave me ACgain this way DDon't leave me aCgain this way... DSweet loCver....O pDlease... CO please....DO please...Cplease.... please come Dhome... Please come Chome...
