Come down from the night sky
Speaking like you never left
You come down so easy
Suit me like a breath
All the while the nameless stars
All the planets and their moons
All the while the railway cars are
Moving around you
You come down from the night sky
Thinking I might understand
You come down so easy
But you're water in my hands
What am I gonna do
When you float back out again?
What would i ever do
I can't always play the fool
I can't always play the fool
All the while the nameless stars
All the planets and their moons
All the while the railway cars keep
Moving around you
You're too old to be running like this
Too young to keep still
And I wanna go with you, but
I can't always play the fool
I can't always play the fool
I can't alway play the fool
