Fly Graham Parker

(C) Am C

As you look into an invisible landscape

Dm7 C

And the waves of time part behind your back

G

As your life crumbles and turns into fiction

Dm7 C

And the end of it becomes a fact

Am C

The ghosts of children will run in your garden

Dm7 C

And play with an imaginary ball

G

You will be released and pardoned

Dm7 C

Now there's nowhere left to fall Dm7 C Dm7 C

Good bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

Dm7 (add G) C Dm7 C

Now fly fly fly fly fly fly fly fly fly

Am C

A steam rises out of the water

Dm7 C

And a mist hangs over the field

G

the tears of your wife and daughter

Dm7 C

Have all but released their yield

Am C

The ghosts of lovers will walk toward you

Dm7 C

And beckon you into their arms

G

And the mighty bells of chaos

Dm7 C

Will no longer sound their alarms

Dm7 G

Shake off your carcass leave us in the dark

C C

That's us fumbling 'round like ants on the ground

Dm7 G

In palaces and hovels reading mystery novels

C C

But we never get the plot Maybe you got it now

Dm7 G

Shake that mortal coil leave us to toil

C C

Take off that weight take off that weight

Dm7 G

Listen to the silence know the end of violence

C C

Is a clean slate Is a clean slate
