| You asked me to a party
|
| To a house just by the moon
|
| You gave me silver loving
|
| The end was all too soon
|
| You asked me to the theatre
|
| In a place quite near the sun
|
| You gave me golden sunbeams
|
| You act was all in fun
|
| Rope ladder to the moon!
|
| You asked me to a meeting
|
| In a cottage in the snow
|
| You gave me central heating
|
| I can’t forget the glow
|
| You asked me to a weekend
|
| Down by the stormy sea
|
| You took me to a ceremony
|
| And the sacrifice — was me!
|
| You asked me to a stromcloud
|
| Up near the rainbow’s end
|
| Then you threw away the ladder
|
| And gave me to your friend
|
| You took me to a prison
|
| And you said its chief was me
|
| Then you locked me deep inside you
|
| And thew away the key
|
| Rope ladder to the moon! |
