G
Ease your feet off in the sea
   Cmaj7
My darling, it's the place to be
G
Take your shoes off, curl your toes
    Cmaj7
And I will frame this moment in time
G
Troubles come and troubles go
    Cmaj7
The troubles that we used to know
     G
Will stay with us until we get old
     Cmaj7                          D
Will stay with us until somebody decides to go
             Cmaj7
Decides to go



Soberly, without regret, I make another sandwich

And I fill my face

I know that things have got to you

But what can I do?

Suddenly, without a warning

On a pale blue morning

You decide your time is wearing thin

A conscious choice to let yourself go dangling
 Dm
Hovering

It's an emergency

There's no more "wait and see"


G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G


Maybe if I shut my eyes

Your trouble will be split between us

People come and people go

You're scouring everybody's face

For some small flicker of the truth

To what it is that you are going through, my boy

I left you dry

The signs were clear that you were not going anywhere
Dm
Anywhere

Save for a falling down, save for a falling down

Anywhere
Dm
Anywhere

Save for a falling down

Everything's going high.


Later on, as I walked home

The plough was showing, and Orion

I could see the house where you live

I could see the house where you give

All your time and sanity to people

Then you waited for the people to acknowledge you

They spoke in turn

But their eyes would pass over you

Over you

Who's seeing you at all?

Who's seeing you at all?
