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

In the fading light
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
Court with jackdaws
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

    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

    [Chorus]
    I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws
    Slumming in the shack Tony built last year

    You're still fighting, I see
    Like a modern day Bruce Lee

  7. T.... K....

    welcome to India on 2 3 of nov

  8. V.... K....

    You guys are lit 🔥, Love from Mumbai.

  9. A.... C....

    Brazil. ALL you guys rock!

  10. B.... L....

    Nie myślcie sobie, że Polacy nie doceniają świetnej muzyki :) Też lubię czasem popłynąć do lepszego świata...

  11. S.... R....

    The most beautiful song by the poets.

  12. M.... A....

    You´re amazing ! :)

  13. H.... ....

    this music speaks to the soul. so great !

  14. L.... H....

    I think you're the best singer I have ever heard. Great music, love all your songs.

  15. v.... ....

    Any idea who is Tony who built the shack last year ?!?!?!?! :D

    v.... ....

    He's the Iron Man.

    v.... ....

    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.

  16. C.... V....

    I think I've found my new favorite PotF song.

  17. K.... I....

    So much love from the US

  18. M.... P....

    The one who pressed dislike in this song, has a lot of problems in his life.. How can someone dislike such a wonderful song??

  19. x.... ....

  20. B.... ....

    is there anyone from Nepal?

  21. A.... A....

    Please tour to India more often, PotF. I promise the crowd won't disappoint you. A lot of us love you. 💕

    A.... A....

    Aarushi Aiyyar they are the only underrated band that's so popular in India and I absolutely love the crowd response they get here

    A.... A....

  22. S.... C....

    poets live in the shadow so they r special.

  38. A.... F....

    love from india to the greatest band ever.
    you guys are keeping real music alive in these dark times for music

    A.... F....

    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

    A.... F....

    @Ashwin Pandey much as ai love me some Breaking Benjamin, i have to respectfully disagree. Poets is definitely the best( in my opinion anyway)

    A.... F....
