D D/C# D/B D
i was wandering through the streets of the city
G Em A7sus4 A
rambling through the avenues of time
D D/C# D/B D
when from nowhere my eyes fell onto a girl
G Em A7sus4 A
and by chance her eyes fell onto mine
D D/C# D/B D
so i sat and acted all non – nonchalant
G Em A7sus4 A
she smoked her lavender cigarette
D D/C# D/B D
reading the future that lay in my hands
G Em A7sus4 A
my shadow played a bass clarinet
( where you going with this bret? )
we waltzed down a moonlight boulevard
just two silhouettes in the mist
( ah yes )
days went by and years went by
moments went by when we kissed
( when was this? )
she said your beard is woven of heartache
and we’ll drink for the lonely tonight
and the moon is a horny old drunkard
( uh bret , could you please move over to your right? )
we drank dandelion wine and we reminisced
about the moment we first met that day
( i’m trying to watch tv )
then we reminisced about how we first reminisced
( oh yeah? sounds a bit gay )
she handed me a broken memory
a keepsake to forever most say?
a brief taste of love is as sweet as any
G Em d~
and with that she made her way
( oh yeah? what was her name? )
she said her name was a secret
then she said her name was cherie
( was her middle name cherie
so it’s a secret cherie maybe? )
mm , maybe
( what’d she look like? )
she looked like a parisian river
( what dirty? )
she looked like a chocolate eclair
( that’s rare )
her eyes were reflections of eyes
( oh nice )
and the rainbows danced in her hair
( aw yeah )
she reminded me of winter’s morning
( what frigid? )
her perfume as eau de toilette
( what’s that mean? )
she was comparable to cleopatra
( quite old )
she’s like shakespeare’s juliette
( what thirteen? )
the bohemians of soho did pirouettes
as we waltzed through the streets of manhattan
on rivers of ribbon and sailboats of song
there’s a girl i described she’s as real as the wind
it’s true i saw her today
the other details are inventions
G Em d~
because i prefer her that way .
