Once Upon a Playground Rainy 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 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 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 I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws The speaker acknowledges that there may be temptations and offers of a different lifestyle, such as traveling or material wealth, coming from others. Here I am, look at me now, you're living in a world of wonder Come to me now, we will make it somehow Here I am, singing your song, believing, though the world's asunder This is our time and our love is crystalline. Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart. Those flea market stalls in the bone dry noon Despite pretty signs, look cursed and marooned And trumpet notes wailing from the candy store Like a work of art of uneasy rapport.
