Intro: C-  Em-  C-  Em-  D-  G-x2
The passage of Ctime is flicking dimly uEmpon the screen.
I can't see the Clines I used to think I could Emread between.
DPerhaps my brains have turned to Gsand.
Oh me oh Cmy I think it's been an eEmternity.
You'd be supCrised at my degree of unEmcertainty
DHow can moments Ggo so slow
Several Ctimes I've seen the evening Emslide away.
Watching the Csigns taking over from the Emfading day.
DPerhaps my brains are Gold and scrambled.
Several Ctimes I've seen the evening Emslide away.
Watching the Csigns taking over from the Emfading day.
DChanging water into Gwine.
Several Ctimes I've seen the evening Emslide away
Watching the Csigns taking over from the Emfading day.
DPutting grapes back on the Gvine.
