Crocodile skin water, city shadows wait ||||||

Put your head into your hands, the ending is so great ||||o|

Take ride to sundown, buy ticket home (add )
Take all the things I've bought you, leave all the rest alone
Marble skins turn human, people fade to grey
Put your head into my hands, we'll make them go away
As you're crying softly, you won't ever be disturbed
Red on pink the sun will sink, have you even heard
(add )
And the colours take me down
(add )
It's no reason to be sad
(add )
And you leave without a sound
(add )
It's no reason to be glad
Salty tears are wasted, children lie awake
Put your head into my hands, don't let your spirit break
Black smoke from the chimneys, white smoke from the hills
Everything is moving, but we're standing still
(add )
And the colours take me down
(add )
It's no reason to be sad
(add )
And you leave without a sound
(add )
It's no reason to be glad
Celebrations fading, boats upon the waves
Put your head into my hands, trying to be brave
The carnival has packed up, the storm has left us peace
Poppies sleep undamaged, we drive into the east
(add )
And the colours take me down
(add )
It's no reason to be sad
(add )
And you leave without a sound
(add )
It's no reason to be glad
