(1st verse chords)
Like a spell the sounds came dancing in our heads
Painting pictures as we slept our souls were fed
In a music box we kept our secret songs
Packed our bags, we took the van and before long.

Sometime later, alligator


We were friends, shared some stories
Tales of worries, somehow it all blends.
