Leap Year

There's nothing below us anymore

A carpet of clouds, and the sky's the floor

I've seen faces love and lose it all

A gambling train, it's criminal

Our love is like a rose

It blooms and then it goes

A pocketful of gold

An eyelash on the nose

I could've loved you

But the day's already gone

I could've held you

But the sun's already shone

I could've kept you

Would you stay longer than a leap year

If I fall asleep here?

I carve the time away in my ivory hall

I sing my songs, and I climb the walls

The clock is ticking murder at me now

A solitude, insufferable

Our love is like an ache

It keeps you lying awake

Four times around the sun

I'd walk a mile to run

I could've loved you

But the day's already past

I could've seen you shine

But the moon just didn't last

I could've held you

Would you stay longer than a leap year

If I fall asleep here?
