Lyrics

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!
Written by: Jack Bruce, Pete Brown
