Verse 1:
E5 D5 C5
And she was just

another lullaby
E5 D5 C5
with candlelight eyes
E5 D5 C5
singing you to sleep,
E5 D5 C5
drowsy with heat.

And you were just
E5 D5 C5
a warning to avoid

asleep upon the soil,
E5 D5 C5
holding onto night,
E5 D5 C5
fading with its' light.

beating unevenly, beating unevenly.

a love-drunk vagabond

Pressed against the glass,
E5 D5 C5
watching people pass.

Watching people pass...

beautiful, and as simple...
