      Cm                        D#7
Well, we watched the starlings fly,
  Fm7                  G#
Around the burnt-down pier, and I
 D#                       Fm7
Spilled my coffee on my sleeve,

She wiped it with a smile,
And told me I was juvenile,
And kissed me softly on my cheek

Chorus:
         G#   D#/G          Fm7
And her hair danced in the breeze,
         G#      D#/G     Fm7
Like a thousand swinging trees,
      G#     D#/G  Fm7      D#    Cm
In a forest lying next to stormy seas

Well, we watched the wintry sky
Turn a shade of turquoise, I
Whispered softly, "I feel lost,"

She turned with laughing eyes
And curled her lips towards the sky
And said, "get your map out, then, you knob!"

Chorus:
And we laughed like a pair of fools
Like kids, they laugh at school
And we wandered home before the day brought dusk
