[Db] [Ab] [Gb] [Db]
[Ab] [Db]
A cloud lets go of the moon Her ribbons are all out of tune
She's [Gb] skating on the ice in a glass In the hands [Db] of a man that she kissed on the
train And [Abm] [Gb] the children have all gone into town
To get candy [Db] and we are alone [Bbm] in the house here
[Db] And [Ab] your eyes fall down on [Db] me I belong only to you
The water is filling my shoes [F] In [Gb] the wine of my heart there's a stone
And a well made of [Db] bone That you bring to the pond
[Abm] And [Gb] I'm here in your pocket Curled up in a dollar
[Db] And the chain from your [Ab] watch [Bb] around my [Bbm] neck And [Abm] I'll stay [Db]
[Ab] right here until [Db] it's time

[Db] [E] [F] [Ab] So
[Bb] [E] [F] [Dbm] [Ebm]
[Bb] [Dbm] [Db]
let's all knit in the shade Before the [Ab] [Db] baby is made
And [Gb] the branches bend down To the ground here to swing on
[Db] I'm lost in the months of grass
[Abm] And [Gb] the train whistle blows
And the carnival goes Till [Db] there's only the [Ab] tickets [Bbm] and crows here
[Db] And [Ab] the grass [Eb] will [Ab] all grow [Db]
back
And [Eb] the branches spell Alice And I belong only to [Db] you
