Graham Parker – Fly Graham Parker lyrics

Intro Am C (twice)
(C) Am C
As you look into an invisible landscape
Dm7 C
and the waves of time part behind your back
G
As your life crumbles and turns into fiction
Dm7 C
and the end of it becomes a fact
Am C
The ghosts of children will run in your garden
Dm7 C
and play with an imaginary ball
G
You will be released and pardoned
Dm7 C
Now there's nowhere left to fall
Dm7 C Dm7 C
CHORUS Good bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Dm7 (add G) C Dm7 C
Now fly fly fly fly fly fly fly fly fly

Am C
A steam rises out of the water
Dm7 C
and a mist hangs over the field
G
The tears of your wife and daughter
Dm7 C
have all but released their yield
Am C
The ghosts of lovers will walk toward you
Dm7 C
and beckon you into their arms
G
and the mighty bells of chaos
Dm7 C
will no longer sound their alarms
CHORUS repeat (plus way way way way way)
Dm7 G
Shake off your carcass leave us in the dark
C C
That's us fumbling 'round like ants on the ground
Dm7 G
in palaces and hovels reading mystery novels
C C
But we never get the plot Maybe you got it now
Dm7 G
Shake that mortal coil leave us to toil
C C
take off that weight take off that weight
Dm7 G
Listen to the silence know the end of violence
C C
is a clean slate Is a clean slate
CHORUS repeat
