A part-time job worker

I saw a man enter

He was middle-aged
E C GA
Deep lines on his face
E C GA
Tight mouth and eyes glazed
E C GA
Eyelids just half-raised

And I looked at him, he looked at me
E G A
He looked so sad, I had to see
E G A
What did he want, what could it be
E G A
What had he been through before me

Ice skates he asked for
E C GA
In the middle of summer
E C GA
He wanted a good pair
E C GA
The price he did not care
E C GA
I looked for his size
E C GA
Our best pair he tried
E C GA
Custom back and sides
E C GA
Excitement in his eyes

And I looked at him, he looked at me

I asked are you a pro

He looked sad and said no

These skates are my last hope

Without them I cannot cope

And he said my wife, she drowned this summer
E G A
Behind our house, the river took her
E G A
I cannot swim, I need to find her
E G A
I will wait, till it freezes over
D C
And then I will skate, as far as it takes
D C
I will skate, as far as it takes
E C GA
To bring her back home
E C GA
To bring her back home
E C GA
To bring her back home

Back home
