Finestere
By: The Lilac Time
A D
Come and watch the sunset with me from Finistère
A D
A sentimental moment with me, that we can share
Bm A E7 D
Forget the faces of forgotten children, Oh, how they cried
Bm A E7 D
They cannot forgive forgetful Fathers, Oh, how they lied
A
And now they try to run away
A D
You listen to your Walkman, on the back seat of the bus
A D
You feel yourself evaporate, In un-selfconciousness
Bm A E7 D
The wounded animal sat by the roadside, Oh, "how" he cried
Bm A E7 D
Did the peaceful pastures become minefields, Oh, "woe" he cried
A
For now he cannot run away
Dm A7 C Dm
Oh, run away, From the half digested bitterness you feel
Dm A7 C Dm
Oh, "how can you stay? Says the unexpected innocence you keep
C Dm
And how long does that innocence keep
F G
You from drying up, drying out
A D
The days when I was bullet proof and nightly full of holes
A D
Is deep and strong as cellophane in a galaxy of souls
Bm A E7 D
The father to so many needs a mother, Oh, how she cried
Bm A E7 D
Does the Father's Mother need a lover, Oh, "yes, please!" she cried
D A (E7/D) A
I know I'll never run away, Finistère
D A (E7/D) A
I can't run no more, Finistère
D A
I can’t run no more (fade..)
