Priests are skating on a winter lake
from a window covered in snowflakes
peacocks bristle in the verdant brush
all across the universe is hushed
crystal ships are sailing towards the rocks
as we scurry to unwind the clocks
black umbrellas blowing in the air
1974 Monaco
following me everywhere I go
in the birdbath water overflows
where we're going seems nobody knows
then a gaslight flickers on the path
as a radio plays madcap laughs
black umbrellas blowing in the air
sparrows on the odeon marquis
we ride on the cable car for free
I whisper to see if you're asleep
What you've given me I cannot keep
Written in the crushed and lonely stars
I come so together where you are
black umbrellas blowing in the air
