Am (x02210@1) GAs (320003@1)I sat sadly by her side
F (133211@1) GAt (320003@1)the window through the glass
Am (x02210@1) GShe (320003@1)stroked a kitten in her lap
F (133211@1) G (320003@1)And we watched the world as it fell past
Am (x02210@1) GSoftly (320003@1)she spoke these words to me
F (133211@1) GAnd (320003@1)with brand new eyes, open wide
Am (x02210@1) GWe (320003@1)pressed our faces to the glass
F (133211@1) G (320003@1) Am(Fig (x02210@1)A)
As I sat sadly by her side.
Am (x02210@1) GShe (320003@1)said, 'Father, mother, sister, brother,
F (133211@1) GUncle, (320003@1)aunt, nephew, niece,
Am (x02210@1) GSoldier, (320003@1)sailor, physician, labourer,
F (133211@1) G (320003@1)Actor, scientist, mechanic, priest,
Am (x02210@1) GEarth (320003@1)and moon and sun and stars
F (133211@1) GPlanets (320003@1)and comets with tails blazing
Am (x02210@1) GAll (320003@1)are there forever falling
F (133211@1) G (320003@1) Am(Fig (x02210@1)A)
Falling lovely and amazing.'
Am (x02210@1) GThen (320003@1)she smiled and turned to me
F (133211@1) GAnd (320003@1)waited for me to reply
Am (x02210@1) GHer (320003@1)hair was falling down her shoulders
F (133211@1) G (320003@1) Am(Fig (x02210@1)A)
As I sat sadly by her side.
Am (x02210@1) GAs (320003@1)I sat sadly by her side
F (133211@1) FThe (133211@1)kitten she did gently pass
Am (x02210@1) GOver (320003@1)to me and again we pressed
F (133211@1) GOur (320003@1)different faces to the glass
Am (x02210@1) G'That (320003@1)may be very well,' I said
F (133211@1) G'But (320003@1)watch that one falling in the street
Am (x02210@1) GSee (320003@1)him gesture to his neighbourS
F (133211@1) GSee (320003@1)him trampled beneath their feet
Am (x02210@1) GAll (320003@1)outward motion connects to nothing
F (133211@1) GFor (320003@1)each is concerned with their immediate need
Am (x02210@1) GWitness (320003@1)the man reaching up from the gutter
F (133211@1) G (320003@1) Am(Fig (x02210@1)A)
See the other one stumbling on who he can not see.
Am (x02210@1) GWith (320003@1)trembling hand I turned toward her
F (133211@1) GAnd (320003@1)pushed the hair out of her eyes
Am (x02210@1) GThe (320003@1)kitten jumped back to her lap
F (133211@1) G (320003@1) Am(Fig (x02210@1)A)
As I sat sadly by her side.
Am (x02210@1) GThen (320003@1)she drew the curtains down
F (133211@1) GAnd (320003@1)said, 'When will you ever learn
Am (x02210@1) GThat (320003@1)what happens there beyond the glass
F (133211@1) GIs (320003@1)simply none of your concern?
Am (x02210@1) GGod (320003@1)has given you but one heart
F (133211@1) G (320003@1)
You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers
Am (x02210@1) GAnd (320003@1)God does not care for your benevolence
F (133211@1) GAnymore (320003@1)than he cares for the lack of it in others
Am (x02210@1) GNor (320003@1)does he care for those who sit
F (133211@1) GAt (320003@1)windows in judgement of the world He created
Am (x02210@1) GWhile (320003@1)sorrows pile up around him
F (133211@1) F (133211@1) Am(Fig (x02210@1)A)
Ugly, useless and over-inflated.
Am (x02210@1) GAt (320003@1)which she turned her head away
F (133211@1) GGreat (320003@1)tears leaping from her eyes
Am (x02210@1) GI (320003@1)could not wipe the smile from my face
F (133211@1) G (320003@1) Am(Fig (x02210@1)B)
