not that i meant

whatever breaks to the edge of her world

it was winter
F#
but her hair was still brown and gray

it was hard
B F#
until the spring held its baby bouquet

in some place the country club
E
they were laughing
B F#
oh but their souls were empty for love

E
and her home was rounded up
B F# D#m
with feathers
E B
oh how she planted in the lake
E B
oh but the thought had left them for a fork
F# D# G#m
and a piece of chocolate cake
F#
B A G#m
oh
B A G#m
