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

  |||||o

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
