Introdução: Am C Dm F F C C Dm F C
Am F C
I review my past through wicked windows framed in silver
C
and hung in toughened glass, upon my face around and over
F C F C G
Now and then: memories of men who loved me.
C
No stolen kiss - could match their march on hot coals for me.
Am/ C/ Dm/ F// C/// Am/ C/ Dm/ F// C/// F// C

Am F C
I have walked a line both faint and narrow hard to follow,
Am F C
caught up in circumstance, harsh truth for history to mellow.
F C Dm C G
Through my eyes: loyalties and obligation
F E F Dm C
magnified: Obedience the better fellow.
Am/ C/ Dm/ F// C/// Am/ C/ Dm/ F// C/// F// C

Am G D
Better not remember me. Don't miss my passing
Am G D
Fierce winter fails to ruffle my icy sleep.
Am G D
We never quite vanish. No wet soft surrender.
Am G D
Still waiting: bad blood running in close families.
Dm F C
I laughed like any child - although you might find that strange
Dm A
and Christmas was my favourite holiday.
Dm A
Christmas was my favourite holiday.
Am/ C/ Dm/ F// C/// Am/ C/ Dm/ F// C/// F// C

Am F C
I am not alone, in seeing the world through wicked windows,
Am F C
while others hide likewise, behind this vunerable squinting.
F C F C G
It's in the stare: It's in the silent scrutinizing.
F E F Dm C
Strip you bare: I offer you no more disguising.
Am G D
Better not remember me. Don't miss my passing
Am G D
Fierce winter fials to ruffle my icy sleep.
Am G D
We never quite vanish. No wet soft surrender.
Am G D
Still waiting: bad blood running in close families.
