The breeze at the sh^Doreline bent down the r^Aushes The sparrows cried o^Eut from the w^Daving w^Aillows And even the m^Dinnows in the muddy sh^Aallows Even the fr^Eogs c^Dalling from the sh^Aadows

[Chorus]

E^Even the wind leaned in to listen When you le^Daned in closer, your hands in my h^Aair ^E When you wh^Dispered what you whispered in my e^Aar ^E When you wh^Dispered what you whispered in my e^Aar

[Interlude] Bm A Em G A D [Verse]

N^Deon signs above the old mot^Gels, w^Aarehouse stores and strip malls, houses spr^Gawled across the h^Dills The s^Dunset's a bird with wings made out of f^Gire P^Aarking lots turn to gold as it gl^Gides across the s^Dky And e^Dvery night from 6:00 to 6:0^G5 The d^Aesert dirt shimmers like a s^Gea of waterm^Delon light

R^Aaindrops sliding d^Fown the st^Aems of orange le^Faves The fl^Aicker of a str^Fange light f^Aar out across the s^Fea ^A

[Verse]

L^Aove is like a black ^G#mfly b^Guzzing in the s^F#un C^Fircling and landing, d^Eancing like it's drunk

^AAll around the r^Fed apples sc^Aattered on the l^Fawn F^Aallen in the f^Fury of l^Aast night's thunderst^Form ^A

[Verse]

L^Aove is like the ^G#mhole t^Gorn right through the r^F#oof When that o^Fld sugar pine came cr^Eashing down last night

And ab^Aove the broken be^Fams and the sh^Aattered ceiling t^Files Y^Aou can see st^Farlight for the v^Aery first t^Fime
