Well it's time unremembered since the nameless left
C G C G C
What a wake trails those eyes of the storm
C G F C
And I know you had some trouble with your heart bereft
C G C G C
It?s hard to keep a lonely heart warm
G F
They don?t carry coals North, you won?t have any help
G F
There?s a measure of time in your drink
G F
Can?t trust that in the next one, you won?t be back on the same shelf
G F
So pitch time to do or die, to float or sink
Am F
And we live in the steel yard on reels of information
Am F
And we love along the white lines in the middle of the road
Am F
And our care lies in the telegraph poles and the taxi to the station
Am F
And you know the one that died became some elemental code
C G F
And what was the song that was playing
C G F
in the café when we heard?
G F
Wasn?t one of the greats, but it rang through me for a moment
C G C G C
Something about a murder, a brood, a fleet, a flock of birds
C G F C
Now the spheres of your loving are cast adrift
C G C G C
To the shores of another land
C G F C
And the packers and the movers haven?t time to lift
C G C G C
Any more than what lies to hand
G F
Now the border of reality is the most crowded any place
G F
Where a myth can be a public dream
G F
To the throes of this existence, you?ll take your lovely?s face
G F
As the light slips out of every seam
Am F
As the key turns, we burn brightly, an effervescent lover
Am F
In a last kiss with a dew drop, as the sun begins to fall
Am F
And in darkness please tread lightly, oh see what you discover
Am F
In the feeling, oh, the feeling of the elemental call
C G F
And what was the song that was playing
C G F
in the café when we heard?
G F
Wasn?t one of the greats, but it rang through me for a moment
C G C G C
Something about a murder, a brood, a fleet, a flock of birds
