CMany rivers to cross. 
CLaugh under granite-grey skies, 
As if iGt's their loss,     F  Cas if it's their loss.
CSlip on your floor; Cbound aftermath.
CThat which has stolen your years. 
Son, don't become Gone more shadow.F  
Don't drop your Canchor here. 
CBroken down liver and withered frame. 
CLungs wrinkled like old balloons. 
CDampen your spirits by sunrise
And swear Gat the moon,     F  Cswear at the moon.
C'Cause sometimes it's like Ftrying to breathe through a Empillow,
GTrying to dance on the Ftightrope in the pouring Crain. 
CSometimes it's like, Flike you're treading on Emegg-shells, 
GTrying to floss up your Ftop-set with a rusty Cchain.
