[D] [C] On a morning [Bm] from a [Em] forgot movie In a country where [Bm] they turn [Em] back time
We go strolling through [Bm] the [Em] crowd like Nita Lauren [Am] contemplating a crime
[D]
[C] She comes out of the [Bm] sun [Em] in a silk dress running like [B] a watercolour [C] in the rain
Don't [B] bother [Em] asking for explanations, she'll [Am] just tell you that she came [D] from the air [C] of Kent

[C] doesn't give you [Bm] [Em] time for questions as [C] she looks up [Bm] your [Em] eyes
And [C] you follow to [Bm] the other [Em] sense of which direction [Am] completely [D] disappears
By [C] the blue [Bm] tiled [Em] walls near the market [Am] stalls with the [B] hidden door she [C] leads you to
These [B] days she [Em] says I feel my life just like a [Am] river running [D] through the air [G] of Kent
