Вступление
Capo 3
[Verse 1]
It was the dead of winter
The cold was in our bones
And our shelves stood barren
As we had ever known
[Verse 2]
So our mother stands on the porch one evening
The silent crack in her stormy mask
she looked up at the sky, and said "please"
[Instrumental]
F,C,G,C,F,C,G (x2)
[Verse 3]
And by the turn of summer we packed up all we owned
And with my mom and brothers we started for the coast
And I would count all the clouds on the way
And you and I would name them while the world around us changed
And I remember asking if the place we're moving would have more food
And my mother grew as distant as can be
and mouthed, "please"
[Instrumental]
F,C,G,C,F,C,G (x2)
[Bridge]
So I, so tired eyes, pay no mind
The river of time will drown these days out
C,F,C,F,C,F,C,F,G (Hold G)
[Verse 4]
It was the year just after we stood and watched the sea
And my mom was smiling no longer saying please
