"Leap Year" lyrics

There's nothing below us anymore
A carpet of clouds, and the sky's the floor
I've seen faces love and lose it all
A gambling train, it's criminal

Our love is like a rose
It blooms and then it goes
A pocketful of gold
An eyelash on the nose

I could've loved you
But the day's already gone
I could've held you
But the sun's already shone
I could've kept you
Would you stay longer than a leap year
If I fall asleep here?

I carve the time away in my ivory hall
I sing my songs, and I climb the walls
The clock is ticking murder at me now
A solitude, insufferable

Our love is like an ache
It keeps you lying awake
Four times around the sun
I'd walk a mile to run

I could've loved you
But the day's already past
I could've seen you shine
But the moon just didn't last
I could've held you
Would you stay longer than a leap year
If I fall asleep here?
