Em C D Em
I called you after midnight
C D Em
then ran until my heart burst
C D Em
I passed the howling woman
C D Em
and stood outside your door
C D Em
We walked around a lake
C D Em
and woke up in the rain
C D Em
and everyone turned over
C D Em
troubled in their dreams again
C D Em
Visiting time is over
C D Em
and so we walk away
C D Em
and both play dead then cry out loud
C D Em
why we always cry this way?
C D Em
I kissed you in the water
C D Em
and made your dry lips sing
C D
I saw you look
Em
like a japanese baby
C D Em
in an instant I remembered
C D Em
