No cloud, a sleepy calm,
A7+/G#
F#m7
B6
Sunbaked earth that's cooled by gentle breeze,
F#m9
B7(13)
And trees with rustling leaves,
E7(9) E7
Only endless days without a care,
Bm
Em7
Nothing must be done.
B7M
E/G#
Silent as a day can be,
A7+/G#
F#m7
B6
Far-off sounds of others on their chosen run
F#m9
B7(13)
E7(9)
As they do all those things
E7
they feel give life some meaning,
Bm
Em7
Even if they're dull.
D7M

G/D
It's time to stop this dreaming,
D7M

D7M

The trees and I are shaken by

the same wind but whereas
B7M
Ebm
The trees will lose their withered leaves,

Ebm

And they can't refresh me

those hot winds of the south.
B7M
C#/G#
Oh I feel like an alien,
B7M
C#/G#
a stranger in an alien place.
B7M
E/G#
Now the light is fading fast,
A7+/G#
F#m7
B6
Chances slip away, a time will come to pass
F#m9
B7(13)
When there'll be none,
E7(9) E7
Then addicted to a perfumed poison,
Bm
Em7
Betrayed by its aftertaste,
D7M
C/D
G/D
Oh we shall lose the wonder
D7M
