I'm on loan, Like a christmas tree,
chop me down, and dress me up
what if i wind up in the gutter
or a garbage truck
Verse progression again:
| | | | | | |
Turn the clocks back to a memory,
Turn the memory to stone
Skip that stone across the brandywine
and go back home
play the notes (Amaj scale)
Cuz the biiiiiiiiiiiiiiird you named he left your shoulder
a long time ago
and the baaaaaaaaaaallllll you threw it hit the ground
(then quietly play)vvvv
a long time ago
a long time ago,
a lo-ong time, ago
Riff on A then bass line (EE C# B E EE C# B)
Ahhhh Ahhhh Ahhhh Ahhh Let me go
Then a 4 bar Interlude- Arpegios between A C#m A C#m
I woke up from a fairy tale
Washing curtains in the sink
Living ever after happily
D E EEEEEE build up
What would mother think?
A (note only, on beats 1 and 3)
I say goodbye to you
You and your mother to
And when the train arrives
and everybody cries
I'll ride the winded air
that blows your stormy hair
and blows your cares away
and waits for yesterday, to say,
I'm coming home
