I dreamt of a daughter

Such a fo?? little face

D6 G6
The way that she moves through the fair

And she's contagious of her ways

She won't make your shittiest day

Don't let the gloss from her grey

Stuck with a teddy bear on my window
A6 E6
Off the back of a train

And then shout into some Englishman

At the back of the hotel
