a man who lives on an island
the berry that falls
it could turn up the heat
On the chilliest,

Am

foggiest night
He runs an inn by the water
C

When mainland tourists stay
D

He bakes fresh bread every
morning at five
C
G
Starts making beds at ten
Counts his blessings every night
C

Tomorrow he'll do it all again

He waved goodbye

Then he closed that door
His friends back home were startled
and sadly shook their heads
Chalk it up to a midlife crisis
and he did not return
They took a harder look

Time to pull up old roots,

scatter new seeds.
