Invisible Boy Lyrics

From John's second album 'Map Or Direction'.

John plays drop D or DADGAD on this, but I'm using standard tuning here
Well I guess that I'd die with my friends at my side
Puzzled young faces just slipped a -way slowly
I thought of the times I was drunk on the railway
La - mented the time I was smashed in the square
So around I did wander for to find my way home
On feet made of nothing it's har-der to roam
I trooped up the coastline
A walk on the moor
Saw no big wide river
No glorious faraway shore
And every now and a-gain
I go into town just to see my old friends
It's such an odd feeling
Their eyes burn like embers
Their minds are these forests
Where thoughts fall as timber
Be-fore I'm dragged a-way
Every now and a-gain
Inst
Now I have no form I could climb in her spine
Her blood is like wine to a ghost drunk on sadness
And time moves on slowly
In time I'll for-give her
Be-cause when she holds hands with him
I know she's thinking of me
And every now and a-gain
I like to i-magine and I like to pre-tend
It's a glorious feeling I'll be re-membered
For all my good deeds these eighteen De-cembers
Be-fore I'm dragged a-way
Every now and a-gain
Change
Out-side of the book there is no resurrection
The valley be-low threatens me with a home
Heaven a-bove has no map or direction
When-ever you can cast a glance
To the shadows for me
Refrain 3 | end
Yes I'll try without end
To seek others like me whom I might be -friend
It drives like a madness there's no way to reach them
You catch just a glimpse
But you never can touch them
Be-fore you're dragged a-way
Every now
Every now
Every now and a-gain
I hope I've done it justice!
