Roddy Frame - Crossing newbury street

^CI remember the December sky Yellow sun casting a haze I can almost ^Fsee the halo flare In the corner of ^Cmy eye

Beneath the whi^Frling helicopter blades Became aware of ^Cmy life

^FFunny how now that life’s been revealed ^EFeels like time travel is real ^FThe same kid figuring out how it feels As I st^Gare at the unravelling reels

^CMemories over^Em flowing from my cup all ^FTripping me up ^G

^CWishes and dreams I pus^Emhed out of my mind Come b^Fack to find m^Ge They tumble do^Gmwn thr^Cough my ag^Fes ^Fm And leave me d^Crowning in a sorrow so ^Gsweet I don't want to be sav^Ced

^CI recall crossing Newbury Street Cutting corners, keeping everyone sweet The kindest ^Fpeople all working on my beat But something souring ^Cinside

^CAll fall, finding my feet From fiery leaves to splashing holiday sleet I strapped my ^Fwalkman on and prized defeat From the jaws of victory and^C then sighed

^FWell, ain't it strange, the arrangements we blew ^EJust to find time travel's come true ^FI can't tell the old from the new The sound of someone s^Gtrumming still bleeding through

^CMemories over^Em flowing from my cup all ^FTripping me up ^G

^CWishes and dreams I pus^Emhed out of my mind Come b^Fack to find m^Ge They tumble do^Gmwn thr^Cough my ag^Fes ^Fm And leave me d^Crowning in a sorrow so ^Gsweet I don't want to be sav^Ced

Cause who'd be s^Faved from mistakes? When the^Cy're what makes life^Am more Than just a m^Govie on a screen And who'd be sa^Fved from doubt? When it's what ^Cfaith is all about, It makes us m^Amore than just ma^Gchines

^CMemories over^Em flowing from my cup all ^FTripping me up ^G

^CWishes and dreams I pus^Emhed out of my mind Come b^Fack to find m^Ge They tumble do^Gmwn thr^Cough my ag^Fes ^Fm And leave me d^Crowning in a sorrow so ^Gsweet I don't want to be sav^Amed ^{F C}Drowning in a sorrow so s^Gweet I don't want to be sa^Cved
