Down this street,

C C/B Am

I ride a green bus,

early, deep into town.

as I would like to be now-

[Chorus]

C G

and what could I bring you,

D/A Am

today in the meantime?

D/A Am

Fruit from the sunlight,

D/F# C/G

quartz from the bay?

C G

And where will I find this,

D/A Am

perfect and wondrous?

D/A Am

I look into shops,

D/F# C/G

I slip into rain.
