In that big big house there are fifty doors 
and one of them leads to your heart. 
In the time of spring I passed your gate 
and tried to make a start. 
All I knew was the scent of sea and dew 
but I've been in love before, 
how about you? 

There's a time for the good in life, 
a time to kill the pain in life, 
dream about the sun you queen of rain 

In that big house there are fifty beds 
and one of them leads to your soul. 
It's a bed of fear, a bed of threats, 
regrets and sheets so cold. 
All I knew your eyes so velvet blue, 
I've been in love before, how about you? 

There's a time for the good in life, 
a time to kill the pain in life, 
dream about the sun you queen of rain 

It's time to place your bets in life, 
I've played the loser's game of life, 
dream about the sun you queen of rain 

Time went by as I wrote your name in the sky, 
fly fly away, bye bye.
