then came question and it was about time D A
the answer came back and it was long Am A#
the house it was built by so men in rhyme D Am
but whatever came of his talented son Gm A# Gm A# Gm A# Gm A#
who wrote me a dialogue set a tune C F
always you told me of being alone Cm D#
except for the stories about god and you A# Cm
and do you still live there , in bufallo Gm A# Gm A# Gm A# Gm A#
they put up the walls , no more to say D A
nobody stopped to ask why it was done Am A#
the stream was too far and the rains to high D Am
so into the city the river did run Gm A# Gm A# Gm A# Gm A#
because of the architect the buildings fell down C F
smothered and drowned all the seeds that you sowed Cm D#
i wish i was somewhere but not in this town A# Cm
maybe the ocean next time around Gm A# Gm A# Gm A# Gm A#
i seem to remember the face and the name D A
but if it’s not you i don’t care Am A#
i know of changes , but nothing would change you D Am
to theo the sailor who sings in his lair Gm A# Gm A# Gm A# Gm A#
then i’ll turn and he won’t be there , C F
dusky black windows to light the dark stair Cm D#
candles will nod in the musty air A# Cm
oh , with the flames for as many as the years Gm A# Gm A# Gm A# Gm A#
