Please give me a second grace

Please give me a second face

I've fallen far down the first time around

Now i just sit on the ground in your way



Now if it's time for recompense for what's done

Come, come sit down on the fence in the sun

And the clouds will roll by

And we'll never deny

It's really too hard 

For to fly.



Please tell me your second name

Please play me your second game

I've fallen so far for the people you are

I just need your star for a day.



So come, come ride in my my street-car by the bay

For now i must know how fine you are in your way

And the sea sure as I

but she won't need to cry

for it's really too hard 

For to fly.
