Diamonds of
silvery rain in the fountains

And ten -cent red roses
Db 
from department store counters
C

Watching the moonlight
Db 
reflect off the river
C 
Bbm 
C 
Beside where the trains
Bbm 
C 
cross the bridge and slow down
Fm 
Trains with white letters
Db 
C 
and black iron sides
Fm 
And wild rushing water that
Db 
C 
Bbm 
all rolls away
Little Miss Someone
C 
Bbm

doesn't   want to stay

Everyone's moving with places to go

the train goes another

The present moves out
on the sunset's crescendo
Fm 
As seagulls of dawn
Db 
set their wings to the air
C 
Fm 
And fly without resting
Db 
on outward -bound breezes
C 
Bbm 
C 
To die   where horizons
Bbm 
C 
close in    on the dust
Fm 
The hand of the autumn
Db 
undresses the trees
C 
Bbm 
Mr. Zero says,
C 
Bbm 
C 
please help me up off   my knees
Fm 
As someone is speaking,
Db 
C 
the world will believe her
Bbm

Mr. Zero just nods
Bbm

Fm 
and hangs up    the receiver

G 
C 
Yesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow
Fm 
As campfires of midnight
Db 
dissolve in  the darkness
C 
Fm 
The room is deserted,
Db 
the blinds have been drawn
C 
Bbm 
Little Miss Someone
C 
Bbm 
C 
is packed up and gone
Fm 
Fast -moving cars
Db 
disappear down the highway
C 
Fm 
With signs that say, hitchhikers,
Db 
C 
do  not disturb
Bbm 
C 
Mr. Zero looks quietly up
Bbm 
C 
from  the curb
Fm 
Morning has faded and
Db 
shadows have grown
C 
Bbm 
C 
Little Miss Someone is
Bbm 
on her way home
C 
Fm 
Mr. Zero stands watching
Db 
Her plane flies above
C 
Bbm 
C 
And with frostbitten hands
Bbm 
Waves good -bye  to his
Fm 
C 
Gsus4 
love
G 
C 
Oh, walks through the park
On a bright Denver Sunday
Fm 
Db 
And tapestry kittens that hung on the wall
C 
Fm 
They all die in the air
Db 
C 
like a soft minor chord
Bbm 
C 
Bbm 
A vacancy sign, a     bulletin board
C 
Fm 
Mr. Zero is wrapping his
Db 
jacket around him
C 
Fm 
Speaking kind words
Db 
C 
that should have been said long ago
Bbm 
But Little Miss Someone
C 
Bbm 
C 
does not   want to know
Fm 
The night is abandoned,
Db 
there's dust on the shelf
C 
Bbm 
Db 
C 
Mr. Zero  sit s  lonely
Bbm 
C 
and talks to himself
Fm 
But it's too late to change,
Db 
C 
the fine line has been crossed
Bbm 
C 
The charades are all done
Fm 
Mr. Zero has lost.
