[Em]
[E] The clock strikes [D] twelve and the moon drops burst [C]
out at [G] you from [E] their hiding place.
Like dancing in a well on a madman's face, reason tends to fly away.
[C] Like blessed birds [G] on the forest, [C] like silver stripes in [B] May.
[E] Now the [D] sand's become a crust [C] and most of you [E] have gone away.
Come Susie dear, [D] let's take a walk [C]
[D] just out [E] there upon the beach.
