[C]
By the shattered coals of a mother's arms, or swept inside like the legs of a leaf, that
fell away from the bellish charms, cried out to take on motherhood.
She waits by the window sill, all wrapped in white and puzzled, and what happened to
the child inside, around the streets in the days and at night.
She says nothing seems the same, and I can't [F] change a thing.
My body's like a grave, breaking into [C] the sea.
She says everything seems strange, locked [F] behind the years.
But life is ours to find, in the [C] days and at night.

a silly lie, as he walks alone in the days of [C] night.
He says nothing seems the same, and I can't [F] feel a thing.
My body's like a grave, a cave in the [C] ground.
He says everything seems strange, holding back [F] the tears.
But he smiles just like the child, in the days and [C] at night.
