You asked me to a party
To a place just by the moon
You gave me silver loving
The end was much too soon
You asked me to a weekend
In a cottage in the snow
You gave me central heating
I can't forget the glow
Rope ladder
Rope ladder
Rope ladder to the moon
You asked me to the theatre
In a place quite near the sun
You gave me golden sunbeams
Your act was all in fun
You asked me to a weekend
Down by the stormy sea
You took 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 threw away the key
Rope ladder
Rope ladder
Rope ladder to the moon
