[Verse 1]
Been Bm7climbing trees I've skinned my knees
my hands are black the sun is going Ddown
She Bm7scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam
She's listening to the dream I weaved Dtoday
Bm7Crosswords through the bathroom door
while someone sings the theme-tune to the Dnews
and my Bm7sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air
and Dthat's what triggered this.
I come back here from Bm7time to time
I shelter here some Ddays. Bm7 D
[Verse 2]
A Bm7high-back chair. He sits and stares
A thousand yards and whistle's marching-Dband
Bm7Kneeling by and speaking up
He reaches out and I take a massive Dhand.
Bm7Disjointed tales that flit between
short trousers and a full dress uniDform
And he Bm7talks of people ten years gone like I've known them all my life
Like Dscattered black 'n' whites....
I come back here from Bm7time to time
I shelter here some Ddays.
I come back here from Bm7time to time
I shelter here some Ddays.
[Outro]
