G Am Summer's smiling on the cityD G Another lovely day in SydneyAm Sunshine pouring down like honeyD G In a golden waterfallAm But in the room where Clare is dyingD G No sunshine sends the shadows flyingAm No children gather round her cryingD G There's no one there at allAm Except perhaps for the man who seesD G Each little sparrow fall [Chorus Tenor]G Don't talk to me about lonely souls cryingD G Dark quiet rooms with old people dyingC D I don't want to hear, I don't wantG to hear it at all Tired old people die alone every dayD G Don't blame me, I didn't make it that wayC D That's just how it is, don't lookG for a reason at all [Verse 2]G Am Winter weeping on the cityD G A wet and windy day in SydneyAm Raindrops rolling fat and heavyD G Down Clare's window paneAm The raindrops on the tin roof beatingD G Disturbs the rats as they are feedingContinúa después del anuncioAm Back to the nest they all go creepingD G Leaving Clare alone againAm It's been a long and lonely timeD G Since Clare could hear the rain [Tenor Chorus]G Don't talk to me about the meaning of lifeD G Don't sing your songs that cut like a knifeC D I don't want to hear, I don't wantG to hear it at all Lonely old people ain't my concernD G From dust we come, to dust we returnC D And that's all there is, don'tG look for a reason in it all [Verse 3]G Am Springtime's come at last to SydneyD G Flowers are blooming in the cityAm In all their multicoloured gloryD G They rise to greet the yearAm Memories in shame recallingD G Footsteps on the front porch fallingAm Voices through the window callingD G "Is anybody there?"Am Clare Campbell's lost and lonely soulD G Is a long, long way from here [Tenor Chorus]G Don't talk to me about life's seasonsD G Don't ask me for answers, don't ask me for reasonsC D I don't want to hear, I don't wantG to hear it at all From the moment we're born, we start to dieD G A man can go crazy if he keeps asking whyC D That's just how it is, don't lookG for a reason at all [Baritone Chorus]G Can't you understand what I'm trying to sayD G There must an answer, there must be a wayC D To make some sense of it, to tryG to find a reason for it all We are not born just so we can dieD G There must be an answer and we've got to tryC D To make some sense of it; to tryG to find a reason for it all [Baritone Chorus](Sung simultaneously as the last Tenor Chorus is sung)G Can't you understand what I'm trying to sayD G There must an answer, there must be a wayC D To make some sense of it, to tryG to find a reason for it all We are not born just so we can dieD G There must be an answer and we've got to tryC D To make some sense of it; to tryG to find a reason for it all [Ending]C D That's just how it is, don't lookG for a reason at allC D Ah, there must a way, there mustG be reason for it all
