You told me the rain would be coming down So I stayed inside with my bottle I heard what you said, I always hear I just don't learn so good, I know I should listen more carefully, more carefully
You said our love was like a bonsai tree And of course, you were right Oh, that's why, darling, it's a tragedy To find me drawing bonsai trees tonight
Oh how the light reflected off you when you came to me Ya floated like Mary into my darkened room We were there once things were fine, I was yours, you were mine We had it all, it was ours, oh my god, below the stars
And then you told me our love was like a bonsai tree And I knew you were right Oh, that's why, darling, it's a tragedy To find me drawing bonsai trees tonight
