Lyrics
Puz There’s traf fic in the sky and it does n’t seem to be er get ting much bet ter.
There’s kids they’re play ing (D)games on the pave ment, draw ing (F#m7)waves on the pave ment, mm, hmm; there’re shad ows of the planes ers on the pave ment, mm, hmm.
It’s e nough to make me (F#m7)cry, but that don’t (Em7)seem like it would make it feel bet ter.
The May be it’s a (F#m7)dream and if I scream, from it will burst at the seams; but whole place ev would fall in to piec es and then they’d (A)say…
“Well, how could we have known?” I’ll tell them it’s not (Bm)real ly not so hard to tell.
No, no, (G)no.
If you keep add ing stones, soon the wa ter (D)will be lost in the (Bm)well.
Mm, hmm.
Words zle piec es in the ground; and it does but no one ev er seems to be dig ging.
In stead, ing look ing (D)up towards the heav ens with their (F#m7)eyes on the heav ens, mm, hmm; there’re shad ows on the way ers to the heav ens, mm, hmm.
It’s e nough to make me (F#m7)cry, but that don’t (Em7)seem like it would make it feel bet ter.
The an swers could be (F#m7)found; and we could learn are dig ging down, at the seams; and no one ev er seems to be dig ging.
In stead, they’ll (A)say…
“Well, how could we have known?” I’ll tell them it’s not (Bm)real ly not so hard to tell.
No, no, (G)no.
If you keep add ing stones, soon the wa ter (D)will be lost in the (Bm)well.
Mm, hmm.
(D)will be lost in the (Bm)well, lost in the (G)well.
Mm, mm, mm, (D)mm.
