Текст песни Poets of the Fall - Once Upon a Playground Rainy (Clearview 2016)

[Verse 1]
Hello old lovers of mine
My little boy wishes of fortune's kisses
Now dreams cast aside
In the fading light, your crown of thorns
Becomes a halo of branching horns
And yet so beautiful

[Chorus]
I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws
Slumming in the shack Tony built last year
I know you'll be holding court with jackdaws
Crying when nobody ever sees your tears
When no one sees your tears

[Verse 2]
What used to fly us from here to the stratosphere?
What became of our passion, Is there no one who cares?
Hear the soft minor key of the one-time me
Still the acrobat with my heart on my sleeve
And it's so beautiful

[Chorus]
I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws
Slumming in the shack Tony built last year
I know you'll be holding court with jackdaws
Crying when nobody ever sees your tears
When no one sees your tears
[Bridge]
Out back when the gates are closed
Like a pitiful skeleton pose
We held our first line of defense
Saw our likeness and it made no sense
Toy soldiers in the muck and dirt
Salvation in your every word
Lost in the fray of everyday

[Chorus]
I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws
Slumming in the shack Tony built last year
I know you'll be holding court with jackdaws
Crying when nobody ever sees your tears
When no one sees your tears

[Closing]
You're still fighting, I see
Like a modern day Bruce Lee
Standing proud in this parody
