I hear the freight trains go by a like a clipper ship sinkingI close my eyes; write my name on the windowpane thinkingOh, my heartI'm going down with what's left of the mastI fear for my life like a bird before glassRaindrops and rosesRaindrops and rosesI see the sun way up high like a mama bird weepingI fear she'll come down and carry me off while I'm sleepingOh, my headI'd cry like a newborn that's pulled from the breastI pray the world never lights up my nestRaindrops and rosesRaindrops and rosesI feel the eyes of the world like a tidal wave breakingI wrap my arms around the copper ball weathervane shakingOh, my soulI'd swim like piper with bellows for breathAnd bury that spire in the belly of deathRaindrops and rosesRaindrops and rosesLay me down slowly and clip off my wingsI'm gonna bring all my favorite thingsI'm gonna bring all my favorite things Aus Songtexte Mania
