Poets Of The Fall - Once Upon A Playground Rainy Lyrics
Hello old lovers of mine
My little boy wishes
Of fortune's kisses
Now dreams cast aside
Your crown of thorns
Becomes a halo
Of branching horns
And yet so beautiful
I see you gently swaying
In a sea of seesaws
Slumming in the shack
Tony built last year
I know you'll be holding
Crying when nobody
Ever sees your tears
When no one sees your tears
What used to fly us from here
To the stratosphere?
What became of our passion
Is there no one who cares?
Hear the soft minor key
Of the one-time me
Still the acrobat
With my heart on my sleeve
And it's so beautiful
I see you gently swaying
In a sea of seesaws
Slumming in the shack
Tony built last year
I know you'll be holding
Court with jackdaws
Crying when nobody
Ever sees your tears
When no one sees your tears
Out back
When the gates are closed
Like a pitiful skeleton pose
We held our first line of defense
Saw our likeness
And it made no sense
Toy soldiers in the muck and dirt
Salvation in your every word
Lost in the fray of everyday
I see you gently swaying
In a sea of seesaws
Slumming in the shack
Tony built last year
I know you'll be holding
Court with jackdaws
Crying when nobody
Ever sees your tears
When no one sees your tears
You're still fighting, I see
Like a modern day Bruce Lee
Standing proud in this parody

Love From Pakistan 💞💕💕💕
love from possibly the only poets fan in Sweetwater County!
I could listen to Marko's voice forever, that chorus sends goosebumps all over every damn time =D

Anyone from Bangladesh?

Hello old lovers of mine
My little boy wishes of fortune's kisses
Now dreams cast aside
In the fading light, your crown of thorns
Becomes a halo of branching horns
And yet so beautiful
[Chorus]
I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws
Slumming in the shack Tony built last year
I know you'll be holding court with jackdaws
Crying when nobody ever sees your tears
When no one sees your tears
[Verse 2]
What used to fly us from here to the stratosphere?
What became of our passion, Is there no one who cares?
Hear the soft minor key of the one-time me
Still the acrobat with my heart on my sleeve
And it's so beautiful
[Chorus]
I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws
Slumming in the shack Tony built last year
I know you'll be holding court with jackdaws
Crying when nobody ever sees your tears
When no one sees your tears
[Bridge]
Out back when the gates are closed
Like a pitiful skeleton pose
We held our first line of defense
Saw our likeness and it made no sense
Toy soldiers in the muck and dirt
Salvation in your every word
Lost in the fray of everyday

I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws
Slumming in the shack Tony built last year
I know you'll be holding court with jackdaws
Crying when nobody ever sees your tears
When no one sees your tears

You're still fighting, I see

welcome to India on 2 3 of nov
You guys are lit 🔥, Love from Mumbai.
Brazil. ALL you guys rock!
Nie myślcie sobie, że Polacy nie doceniają świetnej muzyki :) Też lubię czasem popłynąć do lepszego świata...
The most beautiful song by the poets.
You´re amazing ! :)
this music speaks to the soul. so great !
I think you're the best singer I have ever heard. Great music, love all your songs.
Any idea who is Tony who built the shack last year ?!?!?!?! :D
He's the Iron Man.
The at-first-glance interesting loser twat (hence, slumming in a shack) the ex-wife ran off with when the hubby got too boring ("what became of our passion"), and now she's doing mental gymnastics ("still fighting (...), standing proud in this parody") to justify her life choices, but the cognitive dissonance is not completely resolved ("holding court with jackdaws, crying when nobody ever sees your tears").
My interpretation of the song, at least.
I think I've found my new favorite PotF song.
So much love from the US
The one who pressed dislike in this song, has a lot of problems in his life.. How can someone dislike such a wonderful song??
Kinda feel remastared. Am I the only one who noticed that?
is there anyone from Nepal?
Please tour to India more often, PotF. I promise the crowd won't disappoint you. A lot of us love you. 💕
Aarushi Aiyyar they are the only underrated band that's so popular in India and I absolutely love the crowd response they get here
come to the U.S! most people here just simply don't know of PotF's brilliance! help me change that!
poets live in the shadow so they r special.
Lyric´s ??
Roger Hommas Lyrics in the description, just like all the other songs of the album :)
Upload the other old album songs too please.
Addictive af, definitely my favourite :3
You know, I play your music sometimes when I'm at work. When I do, I notice many people stop to listen. You guys are awesome.
Same, my co workers started listening to them now too.
@Alerick ShadowArc Same here. 5 of us ended up going to their concert when they (finally) came to our country.
court with jackdaws... That's my favorite part!
Another one of my favorite songs, fantastic!!!
Apaixonada pelo som <3
Boa para se ouvir depois do almoço.
Ou a qualquer altura do dia!
Looks like Marko Saaresto should have a concert in India ...
Soon. we in Finland have a dark winter in front of us..
can't help falling in love with your music .. i was already in love with the live version and then this
poets of the fall is love

love from India 😉
Sourabh Saklani LOVE FROM AMERICA AS WELL!!!!
Love from Malaysia. Thank you Max Payne 2.
One of my favorites song! You're guys are amazing!
got eargasm
I was just listening to daze hoping for some more poets and this popped in to my notifications, fucking hype
I love so much this song! I love you guys ❤
love from india to the greatest band ever.
you guys are keeping real music alive in these dark times for music
They are really good but not the greatest. Bands like breaking benjamin , Godsmack , Slipknot , Korn, disturbed,Papa roach, A7X still exist bro and they are still making real music ( hard rock ) in these pop music generation
@Ashwin Pandey much as ai love me some Breaking Benjamin, i have to respectfully disagree. Poets is definitely the best( in my opinion anyway)
@Ashwin Pandey little knowledge is dangerous,why you are frustrated , I think your life lol ... Tryna appreciate everything.. don't point out..
One of my favorite songs. You guys rock!
This one is my favorite of the new album :D
Same here :3
i would give it to children of the sun! beats this one.
AYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
Love you guys!!! Keep this awesomeness up. I'm sure in no time you guys will be on the top of the world!❤❤
You 're killing it ! ❤❤
Guys, you're amazing!
Love you guys
Sweet Soo sweet
Notification Squad! \m/ This song is lit.
