C
Here we are
C
Stuck by this river,
Am
You and I
Am
Underneath a sky that's ever falling
F
down, down, down
Am
Ever falling down.
Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here,
Always failing to remember why we
came, came, came:
I wonder why we came.
You talk to me
as if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another
time, time, time,
From another time.
