Am 
C 
Am 
In the land of the etern
F 
C 
al night -time
G 
There's a single lamp
Am 
F 
G 
post on a far -off hill
C 
Am 
The people of the sea,
F 
C 
if they're on the shadows,
G 
grow out of their feet
Am 
F 
C 
and are with them still.
Am 
While the trees outside tap
F 
C 
dance in our windows,
G 
Am 
while our ancestors all
F 
G 
roll in their graves,
D 
Am 
She throws out four of her old dresses
F 
G 
For everyone she saves
Dm 
She says, these old things
Am 
look better in the window
Dm 
F 
Dm 
Am 
I think I'd much rather ima gine them
F 
G 
D 
F 
on someone new
C 
Am 
You'd think the two things
F 
C 
could just fit together
G 
Am 
You'd think that wanting for nothing
F 
is not a crime
G 
C 
Am 
I  feel like whistling but
F 
I can't stop smiling
C 
G 
Am 
It's impossible to do them
F 
C 
both at the same time
So let's take the great novels
Am 
F 
and tear out their last pages
C 
G 
And then read each other's faces
Am 
F 
like they're written in Braille
G 
F 
Dm 
D 
Am 
Turn all the air that hangs around us
F 
G 
To the wind in our sail
C 
Am 
F 
C 
G 
And  I'm...
Am 
F 
G 
C 
Am 
F 
C 
G 
Am 
F 
C 
G 
F 
And  I'm...
