Crying Under the Bedclothes

[Verse 1]
We were sitting by the water
Flipping stones into the blue
And watching ripples crashing silent on the shore
Holding conversation with a wild swan
That smiled, and turned, and flew
And knowing nothing had ever been so beautiful before

[Chorus]
Hiding under the waterfront
Discussing kings and queens
Sighing under the waterfront
And sharing our dreams

[Verse 2]
Then you came into my parlour
When I did not know your name
And you sang your mournful melodies in rhymes
Scared in knowing what I'd started
Yet I jumped in all the same
For, you see, I am a stranger in my timеs

[Chorus]
Hiding inside official doorways
Is not quite what it seems
And sighing inside official doorways
And sharing our drеams

[Verse 3]
Leaping thrice around the Cosmos
And all the time you held my hand
And left me wondering when our star would reach its end
Passing many different angels
Who found it hard to understand
That our love affair would leave us still good friends

[Chorus]
Hiding under the bedclothes now
Hiding my heart
Knowing you'd had the rules laid down
Right from the start
And hiding under the waterfront
Discussing kings and queens
Sighing inside official doorways
Is not quite what it seems
And crying under the bedclothes now
Drowning my dreams
