There’s a child sleep ing near his twin,
the pic tures run wild in a rush of wind.
That dark an gel, he is shuff ling in, watch ing ov er them with his black vel vet wings un furled.
The love you lost with her skin so fair, is free with the wind in her but ter scotch hair.
Her green eyes blew good byes,
with her head in her hands, and your kiss on the lips of an oth er.
Dream
broth er, with your tears scat tered round the world.
Don’t be like the one who made (A)me so old,
don’t be (D7)like the one who left be hind (Ebmaj7)his name.
’Cause they’re (Gm)wait ing for you like I (A)wait ed for mine, and (D7)no bo dy ev er came.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Don’t (G5)be like the one who made (A)me so old,
don’t be (D7)like the one who left be hind (Ebmaj7)his name.
’Cause they’re (Gm)wait ing for you like I (A)wait ed for mine, and (D7)no bo dy ev er came.
Don’t be like the one who made (A)me so old,
don’t be (D7)like the one who left be hind (Ebmaj7)his name.
’Cause they’re (Gm)wait ing for you like I (A)wait ed for mine, and (D7)no bo dy ev er came.
I feel a fraid and I call your name,
I love your voice and your dance in sane.
I hear your words and I know your pain,
your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of an oth er.
Your eyes to the ground,
and the world spin ning round for ev er.
A sleep in the sand,
with the o cean wash ing ov er.
