Intro: Cm Eb Ab F
Cm G Ab F
It was just a cold day, no day for laying in the field
Cm Eb Ab F
It was just one star, far too far that made him turn away
Cm G Ab F
Bland boy, no toy to a man like yourself
Cm Eb Ab F
He was just no one, someone who needed something else
Cm G Ab F
Time left room (for) for me to reconsider
Cm Eb Ab F Cm Eb Ab F
What had been winter and where the grass did grow
Cm G Ab F Cm Eb
Time left room (for) for me to reconsider, who and what I knew
Ab F Cm Eb Ab F
And where that boy did go
Cm G Ab F
First kiss: neither hit nor miss; it blurs from the quickness it keeps
Cm Eb Ab F
First love: too much at once for that troubled boy to take
Cm G Ab F
Blue lake, for sanity's sake he swam and dove too deep
Cm G Ab F
Grey skies, green eyes - they change with the growing grass
Ab G
Loss of what is so precious
Ab G
Confused with the scenery
Ab
A face with no name, a place without space
G Eb F Cm Eb Ab F
It's useless, boy don't you see
Cm G Ab F
No chance, no turning back, that lake is but a stream
Cm Eb Ab F
One wish, one day for that kiss to return to those wanting lips
