{eoc}
Down to the park,
Over growing but the trees are bare,
There's a memory there,
Boats on the lake,
Unatended now the laughter drowned,
I'm incredibly down,
Just like myself they are negleted,
Turn with my eyes to the wall,
What am I supposed to do now?
{ci: chorus, ending with a E7}
[Am] [C] [Am](voca[E7]lized[Am]) [C] [Am] [E7] [Am] [G7]
Run for the train,
Look behind you for she may be there,
Said a thing in the air,
Blackberry way,
See the battlefield of careless sins,
Cast to the winds,
So full of emptiness without her,
Lost in the words that I said,
What am I supposed to do now?
{ci: chorus ad libitum}
