     A5
Blue morning  Blue morning
           G5
Wrapped in strands of fist and bone
A5
Curiosity, Kitten, 
                G5
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
        A5
You can look outside your window
   G5
He doesn't have to know
       A5
We can talk awhile, baby
       G5
We can take it nice and slow
         D5              D5         G5         G5
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
         D5              D5         G5         G5
All your love is just a dream , dream , dream

Are you happy when you're sleeping?

Does he keep you safe and warm?

Does he tell you when you're sorry?

Does he tell you when you're wrong?

I've been watching you for hours

It's been years since we were born

We were perfect when we started

I've been wondering where we've gone

All your life is such a shame

All your love is just a dream
                   
I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow

Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there counting crows
        A5                             G5
One for sorrow Two for joy, Three for girls and four for boys
         A5                                G5
Five for silver Six for gold and Seven for a secret never to be told

There's a bird that nests inside you

Sleeping underneath your skin

When you open up your wings to speak

I wish you'd let me in

All your life is such a shame

All your love is just a dream

Open up your eyes

You can see the flames of your wasted life

You should be ashamed

You don't want to waste your life
D5
I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine
G5
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
D5                    G5
Change, change, change
NB This figure appears and is played constantly from 
'I walk these hillsides' onwards.
