'Round his Emhead 
And the Gphone rings just Aonce, late at Gnight
Like a Dbird calling Aout
"Won't you wake up, EmPaul...
don't be Gscared, don't Abelieve you're all alDone"
"Wake up, GPaul"
Whisper cDlouds rolling Gby
And the Emseeds
GFalling from the Abranches
GOh, from the Abranches and they're
GFalling from the Abranches of the Dtrees
GOh, from the Abranches
GFalling from the Abranches and they're
GFalling from the Abranches of the Dtrees
