[Intro]
Em G7 Am7 Cadd9
[Verse 1]
Em G7
Well, we watched the starlings fly,
Am7 Cadd9
Around the burnt-down pier, and I
Em G7 Am7 Cadd9
Spilled my coffee on my sleeve,
Em G7
She wiped it with a smile,
Am7 Cadd9
And told me I was juvenile,
Em G7 Am7 Cadd9
And kissed me softly on my cheek
[Chorus]
Em Am7
And her hair danced in the breeze,
Cadd9 G7
Like a thousand swinging trees,
Em Am7 G7
In a forest lying next to stormy seas
[Verse 2]
Em G7
Well, we watched the wintry sky,
Am7 Cadd9
Turn a shade of turquoise, I,
Em G7 Am7 Cadd9
Whispered softly, "I feel lost, "
Em G7
She turned with laughing eyes,
Am7 Cadd9
And curled her lips towards the sky,
Em G7 Am7 Cadd9
And said, "get your map out, then, you knob!"
[Chorus]
Em Am7
And we laughed like a pair of fools,
Cadd9 G7
Like kids, they laugh at school,
Em Am7 G7
And we wandered home before the day brought dusk
