Then came question and it  was about time           D   A
The answer came back and it was long                Am  Bb
The house it was built by so men in rhyme           D   Am

Who wrote me a dialogue set a tune                  C   F
Always you told me of being alone                   Cm  Eb

And do you still live there, in Bufallo             Gm Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb

They put up the walls, no more to say               D   A

Maybe the ocean next time around                    Gm Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb

I seem to remember the face and the name            D  A
But if it's not you I don't care                    Am Bb
I know of changes, but nothing would change you     D  Am
To Theo the sailor who sings in his lair            Gm Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb

Then I'll turn and he won't be there,               C  F
Dusky black windows to light the dark stair         Cm Eb
Candles will nod in the musty air                   Bb Cm
Oh, with the flames for as many as the years        Gm Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb
