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?
