G C
mary anne , do you remember
Am
the tree by the river
G
when we were seventeen?

G C
dark canyon wall , the call and the answer
Am
and the mare in the pasture
G
pitch black and baring its teeth .

i recall the sun in our faces ,
stuck and leaning on braces ,
and being strangers to change .

radio and the bones we found frozen ,
and all the thorns and the roses
beneath your window pane .

Am G
now im asleep in a car , i mean the world
Am
to a potty – mouth girl ,
G
a pretty pair of blue – eyed birds .

Am G
time isnt kind or unkind , you liked to say .
Am
but i wonder to who
G
what it is youre saying today .

now im asleep in a car , i mean the world
to a potty – mouth girl ,
a pretty pair of blue – eyed birds .

time isnt kind or unkind , you liked to say .
but i wonder to who
what it is youre saying today .

mary anne , do you remember
the tree by the river
when we were seventeen?

dark canyon road , i was coy in the half – moon;
happy just to be with you ,
and you were happy for me .
