Four in the morning the sidewalk's asleep
Riff 2
Dogs on the porch and spiders on the leaf
RiffRiff 3
Shipwrecked by night, sailing through days
Riff 4
Nobody noticed that slipping away
Csus2/D Am Repeat
Connecting the dots with thorns in his side
Riff 2
Boarded up the windows with pain and with pride
Riff 1
The music box broken that once was his soul
Riff 4
It's sad little song spinning out of control
/Ri[a/
G ff 1]
Then came the storm that washed the roads out
Closed both his eyes and pointed straight south
Riff 1
Second line drums marched into the sea
While the clouds overhead cried mutiny
They parted for Cathy and her bitter news
As her words failed, the sky grew dim
Recalled how close to that exit I've been
Riff 1
Ours not to reply, ours not to reason why
Well, the news about William
The lifeline resist, the desire for the breeze
The thorns in his side
