Intro A E B E

E                                        B
Another sunny day, I met you up in the garden
F#m                                            C#m
You were digging plants, I dug you, beg your pardon
         A                                   E
I took a photograph of you in the herbaceous border
               B                                      E
It broke the heart of men and flowers and girls and trees

Another rainy day, we’re trapped inside with a train set

Chocolate on the boil, steamy windows when we met

You’ve got the attic window looking out on the cathedral

And on a Sunday evening bells ring out in the dusk

(Same as first verse)

Another day in June, we’ll pick eleven for football

We’re playing for our lives the referee gives us fuck all

I saw you in the corner of my eye on the sidelines

Your dark mascara bids me to historical deeds


E                                              B
Everybody’s gone you picked me up for a long drive
     F#m                                             C#m
We take the tourist route the nights are light until midnight
          A                              E
We took the evening ferry over to the peninsula
       B                                  C#m
We found the avenue of trees went up to the hill
          B                                    E
That crazy avenue of trees, I’m living there still

There’s something in my eye a little midge so beguiling

Sacrificed his life to bring us both eye to eye

I heard the Eskimos remove obstructions with tongues, dear

You missed my eye, I wonder why, I didn’t complain

You missed my eye, I wonder why, please do it again

The lovin is a mess what happened to all of the feeling?

I thought it was for real; babies, rings and fools kneeling

And words of pledging trust and lifetimes stretching forever

So what went wrong? It was a lie, it crumbled apart

Ghost figures of past, present, future haunting the heart
