C Em

I had never seen the snow

Am

Never sailed upon the seas

Fmaj7 C

I was busy making plans

G C/G

To build a fortress in the trees

C Em

I'd ride my bicycle

Am

Down the lane and back again

Fmaj7 C

Talking to the birds

G C/G

And my imaginary friends

C Em

And I'd want to run away

Am

Go as far as I could see

Fmaj7 C

But I'd always turn around

To find familiarity

Right where it should be

I'll be gone running on the mile

Oh, my love

Am

Is there hope for yesterday?

Fmaj7 C

Cause I'm following my heart

G C/G

And it's taking me away

C Em

I am moving on

Am

I do not know where I will go

Fmaj7 C

But I'm beckoned by the sky

G C/G

In the river down below

C Em

I've only got one pair of shoes

Am

Comforting these weary feet

Fmaj7 C

Cause a man who owns too much

G

Is like a song without a beat

Left feeling incomplete
