EmHow could it Amhave been so Coften that we did Gspeak
Of Empurpose and of Ghaving of Cha-havGing

GDreamt his body with his Cback to the Glake
CCertain depths I cannot Gplace
Walk and talk fine through Call of the Gdays

Past the point now of Ctrusting it to Gchange

It is with them that we Cspend our Gnights
CLaughter that tides through the Grest
But I liked it best when the Cmorning had not Gleft
CAnd wake was not yet in your Geyes
[Chorus]
EmHigh, high, high, Amlow, low, low
I would have Cseen you through Gboth
