Am In August I went out to the country for restingG There was a family of swallows in the barn there nestingAm I saw the little ones and their feathers were breezyG I pictured their life and I thought it was easyAm I said these guys just have to sit there and squeakG Am And their mother comes back with insects in her beak to feed themG You said, man,Am G Am Swallows migrate and it is amazingAm G Am They fly from Alaska to Argentina with their little wingsAm G And I said I had never heard of such a journeyAm G Am But someone knows better than meAm G Am Someone knows better than meAm And then we were in Stockholm and it was beautiful in JulyContinues after the adG And the day after this famous Swedish director Ingmar Bergman diedAm And all the national papers had some special issuesG With beautiful pictures and interesting interviewsAm I figured it was unlikely that they would gather all this stuff overnightG They must have needed much more time than this to writeAm And it felt rancidG And you said DavidAm G Am David don't you know about obituariesAm G Am They keep them at hand for the death of celebritiesAm G And I said I will never get used to how twisted news can beAm G Am But someone knows better than meAm G Am Someone knows better than meAm And then I remembered one month of June in Coney IslandG When I was hiding a bottle of beer in the sandAm It was too late for the ride(?) and it was too late for the CycloneG Then I didn't have a girlfriend, but I didn't feel aloneAm I didn't need anyone to watch the sunset or maybe my brotherG Am And now every time the sun goes down I hope we will be together kissin'G Baby listenAm G Am Baby I don't want to be without youAm G Am It would make me so mad, I wouldn't know what to doAm G Am I was blind but now I can seeAm G Am But someone knows better than meAm G Am Someone knows better than me
