And the sun refused to shine
Never thought I’d have to pay so dearly
For what was already mine

And we’ve been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
