Standard (EADGBE)

Listen to the song for the rhythm, because the chord changes

aren't precise. It's fairly simple, you'll be able figure most

of it out.

 O I never asked to be your mountain

 I never asked to fly

 Remember when you came to me

 And told me of his lies

 You didn't understand my love

 You don't know why I try

 And the rain was falling on that day

 And damn the reason why

 The Flying Pisces sails for time

 And tells me of my child

 Wrapped in bitter tales and heartache

 He begs for just a smile

 O he never asked to be her mountain

 He never asked to fly

 And through his eye he comes his love

 And tells her not to cry

 She says, "Your scoundrel father flies

 With a dancer called a queen

 And with her stolen cards he plays

 And laughs, but never wins

 O the child dreams to be his hands

 In the counting of the rain

 But only barren breasts he feels

 For her milk will never drain

 As I die I can't remember

 Where I saw the rain

 Could it be that her laughter

 Drove me down again?

 Charming dancer will you stop,

 Stop and talk to me?

 Is there someone else you feel

 In your dreams? you will, you see:

 In midnight gazes

 I've found you far from me

 If you lead me on

 Please leave me down

 O Flying Flying Fish

 Please flutter by my door

 Yes you can drink my lies

 If first you read my eyes:

 Each one is titled

 "I'm drowning back to you";

 I can't swim your waters

 And you can't walk my lands:

 I'm sailing all my sins

 And I'm climbing all my fears

 And soon now I'll fly

 O I never asked to be your mountain

 I never asked to fly

 Remember when you came to me

 And told me of his lies

 You didn't understand my love

 You don't know why I try

 And the rain was falling on that day

 And that's the reason why

 Sweet lover, will you come back

 And love me for a while?

 Please take my hand

 Leave all your fears behind

 I've been gone too long

 Now I'm home to stay

 Please don't leave me

 Again this way

 Don't leave me again this way...

 Sweet lover....O please...

 O please....O please...please.... please come home...

 Please come home...
