Rope Ladder To The Moon
Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown
Performer(s): Jack Bruce;
and various other artists



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
your 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 stormcloud
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 it's chief was me
Then you locked me deep inside you
and threw away the key
