    Am - Dm

 

            Am

1. The sea, your room,your god, the interior world you loved

                      Dm

    you turned faces into icons but the mirror killed all your freedom.

               Am

    Quiet steady and unique, opposites united by blood and deed

            Dm

    boredom your biggest enemy, left your heart on the beach in Tenby.

    you ignored the revolutions,       they just led you nowhere.

The secret he had missed was lying at his fingertips,

       Am                            Dm                G                      C

thе girl in the long blue dress cast a spеll and left us blessed.

 

                      Am

2. Lost your heart and soul in France

 

    prayed so hard that love would last,

          Dm

    Bohemian with no control, if only you had your sister’s soul.

                              Am

    Never had the chance to reconcile, living separate and lonely lives,

               Dm

    if only we could meet again we could find a different end.

     G                           Dm                      F                         C

    you ignored the revolutions,       they just led you nowhere.

 

          C                     F               G                        C

The secret he had missed was lying at his fingertips,

thе girl in the long blue dress cast a spеll and left us blessed.

Walls defeated by the sea still resonate an imperfect dream,

                          Am                                 Dm

the whispering waves still cleanse and clean,

                   G                                   C

they can’t wipe away what you’ve seen.
