AmAs I sat sadly by her side G
FAt the window through the glaGss
AmShe stroked a kitten in her lapG
And we Fwatched the world as it fell pGast
AmSoftly she spoke these words to Gme
FAnd with brand new eyes, open wiGde
AmWe pressed our faces to the glGass
F G Am (Fig A)
As I sat sadly by her side.
AmShe said, 'Father, mother, sister, brotheGr,
FUncle, aunt, nephew, niGece,
AmSoldier, sailor, physician, laboureGr,
FActor, scientist, mechanic, prieGst,
AmEarth and moon and sun and starGs
FPlanets and comets with tails blGazing
AmAll are there forever fallingG
F G Am (Fig A)
Falling lovely and amazing.'
AmThen she smiled and turned to Gme
FAnd waited for me to rGeply
AmHer hair was falling down her shouGlders
F G Am (Fig A)
As I sat sadly by her side.
AmAs I sat sadly by her sideG
FThe kitten she did gently pFass
AmOver to me and again we presseGd
Our Fdifferent faces to the glGass
Am'That may be very well,' I saidG
'But Fwatch that one falling in the streGet
AmSee him gesture to his neighbourSG
FSee him trampled beneath their fGeet
AmAll outward motion connects to nothGing
FFor each is concerned with their immediate nGeed
AmWitness the man reaching up from the guGtter
F G Am (Fig A)
See the other one stumbling on who he can not see.
AmWith trembling hand I turned toward heGr
FAnd pushed the hair out of her eyGes
AmThe kitten jumped back to her lGap
F G Am (Fig A)
As I sat sadly by her side.
AmThen she drew the curtains doGwn
FAnd said, 'When will you ever leGarn
AmThat what happens there beyond the glaGss
FIs simply none of your concGern?
AmGod has given you but one heaGrt
FYou are not a home for the hearts of your brGothers
AmAnd God does not care for your benevolenGce
FAnymore than he cares for the lack of it in oGthers
AmNor does he care for those who sitG
FAt windows in judgement of the world He creGated
AmWhile sorrows pile up around himG
F F Am (Fig A)
Ugly, useless and over-inflated.
AmAt which she turned her head awGay
FGreat tears leaping from her eGyes
AmI could not wipe the smile from my fGace
F G Am (Fig B)
As I sat sadly by her side.
