Then came question and it  was about time              D  A  
The answer came back and it was long                  Am  Bb  
The house it was built by so men in rhyme              D  Am  
But whatever came of his talented son                Gm   Bb   Gm   Bb   Gm   Bb   Gm  Bb  
Who wrote me a dialogue set a tune                     C  F  
Always you told me of being alone                     Cm  Eb  
Except for the stories about God and you              Bb  Cm  
And do you still live there, in Bufallo              Gm   Bb   Gm   Bb   Gm   Bb   Gm  Bb  
They put up the walls, no more to say                  D  A  
Nobody stopped to ask why it was done                 Am  Bb  
The stream was too far and the rains to high          D  Am  
So into the city the river did run                   Gm   Bb   Gm   Bb   Gm   Bb   Gm  Bb  
Because of the architect the buildings fell down      C  F  
Smothered and drowned all the seeds that you sowed   Cm  Eb  
I wish I was somewhere but not in this town          Bb  Cm  
Maybe the ocean next time around                     Gm   Bb   Gm   Bb   Gm   Bb   Gm  Bb  
I seem to remember the face and the name              D  A  
But if it's not you I don't care                     Am  Bb  
I know of changes, but nothing would change you       D  Am  
To Theo the sailor who sings in his lair             Gm   Bb   Gm   Bb   Gm   Bb   Gm  Bb  
Then I'll turn and he won't be there,                 C  F  
Dusky black windows to light the dark stair          Cm  Eb  
Candles will nod in the musty air                    Bb  Cm  
Oh, with the flames for as many as the years         Gm   Bb   Gm   Bb   Gm   Bb   Gm  Bb
