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
