Am F
Look at the shadow on our trees
Dm G
Seems I'll meet an early dusk
Am F
Loretta looked up, the grey sky low
Dm G
Two-by-two on the bus
Am F
Water and anger in our house
Dm G
Though she spoke of rainbows
Am F
Reachin' the roof with soakin' shoes
Dm G
River's up, where'd she go?
[Chorus]
F G Am
You're wiser oh Loretta
F G F G
You're wiser and only twenty-five

Am F
During the TV floatin' by
Dm G
Through our room and out the door
Am F
Loretta, she prayed for what to do
Dm G
If it rained any more
Am F
She was a wash-cloth wet with love
Dm G
I was not; she was mine
Am F
I'm in the olive tree next door
Dm G
River's up to my eyes
[Chorus]
F G Am
You're wiser, oh Loretta
F G F G Am
Much wiser, and only just in time
