[A]
He went to Paris looking for answers to [D] questions that bothered him [A] so
He was impressive, young and aggressive, [D] saving the world on [E] his own
[D] Warm summer breezes, [A]
French wines and cheeses [D] put his ambitions [E] at bay
[A] Summers and winters scattered like splinters in [D] four or five [E] years slipped [A] away
He went to England, played the piano, [D] married an actress [A] named Kim
They had a good life, she was a good wife, [D] bore him a young son named [E] Jim
[D] All of the answers [A] and all of the questions he [D] locked in his attic [E] one day
Cause [A] he liked the quiet, clean country living, and [D] twenty more [E] years [A] slipped away

war took his bait, the bombs killed his lady, [D] left him with only [A] one eye
His body was back, his whole world was shattered, and [D] all he could do was just [E] cry
[D] While the tears were falling, [A] he was recalling the [D] answers that he never [E] found
So [A] he hopped in the freighter, skidded the ocean, [D] left England [E] without [A] a sound
Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pylons, [D] drinks his green label [A] each day
He's writing his memoirs, losing his hair, but he [D] don't care what most [E] people say
[D] After eighty-six years of [A] perpetual motion, [D] if he likes you he'll smile [E] and say
[A] There was some of the magic, a lot of the tragic, but [D] I had a good [E] life all [A] the way
