You told me the rain would be coming

Down, so I stayed inside with my bottle

 I heard what you said, I always hear

 I just don't learn so good, I know I should listen more

Carefully, more carefully

You said our love was like a bonsai tree

And of course, you were right

Oh, that's why, darling, it's a tragedy

 To find me drawing bonsai trees tonight

Oh how the light reflected off you when you came to me

 Ya floated like Mary into my darkened room

 We were there once things were fine, I was yours, you were mine

 We had it all, it was ours, oh my god, below the stars

 And then you told me our love is like a bonsai tree

And I knew you were right

Oh, that's why, darling, it's a tragedy

 To find me drawing bonsai trees tonight
