Fmaj7
Ease your feet off in the sea
   A#maj7
My darling, it's the place to be
Fmaj7
Take your shoes off, curl your toes
    A#maj7
And I will frame this moment in time
Fmaj7
Troubles come and troubles go
    A#maj7
The troubles that we used to know
     Fmaj7
Will stay with us until we get old
     A#maj7                         C
Will stay with us until somebody decides to go
           A#
Decides to go

Fmaj7                      A#maj7
Soberly, without regret, I make another sandwich
      Fmaj7
And I fill my face
                        A#maj7
I know that things have got to you
But what can I do?
Fmaj7
Suddenly, without a warning
A#maj7
On a pale blue morning
      Fmaj7
You decide your time is wearing thin
  A#maj7                                C
A conscious choice to let yourself go dangling
 Cm
Hovering
        A#
It's an emergency
            A#m
There's no more "wait and see"

Maybe if I shut my eyes
Your trouble will be split between us
People come and people go
You're scouring everybody's face
For some small flicker of the truth
To what it is that you are going through, my boy
I left you dry
The signs were clear that you were not
going anywhere
Anywhere
Save for a falling down, save for a falling down
Anywhere
Anywhere
Save for a falling down
Everything's going high

Later on, as I walked home
The Plough was showing, and Orion
I could see the house where you lived
I could see the house where you gave
All your time and sanity to people
Then you waited for the people to acknowledge you
They spoke in turn
But their eyes would pass over you
Over you
Who's seeing you at all?
Who's seeing you at all?
