We pushed

And watched our country fall away

Who blacked their boots

And locked the doors

Now for richer and for poorer

Go vagabond and wild as a spark

Gsus4
It was a civilized affair
F
You wore flowers in your hair
Am
Your mother's dress

So white against your skin

The stars of pale blue
F
Above the morning found a new

And nameless country
Gsus4
Where no one had ever been
F

No one even asked our names

Verse 4
Am
G
Back home behind closed doors
F
Where the bread and circus roars
Am
G
They turn the volume up

And pull the shade

But on the cobbles in the square

People laugh and smoke and stare

And no one looks to me
Gsus4
like they're afraid
F

At home the trees are turning

Red and gold the leaves are burning

Ruined apples fall

Too heavy and too sweet

But right here the birds are calling

The early stars are falling

Am
Trading evening for midday
G

Gsus4
We touched down at JFK
G
F
And our country rose to meet us in the air
Am
With all its beauty and its lust
Gsus4
F
Its diamond teeth and heart of dust
Am
That beats inside us
Gsus4
F
Though we travel anywhere
