Time Unremembered

           C        G             
Well it's time unremembered since 
     F        C
the nameless left
        C                G        
What a wake trails those eyes of 
     C    G C
the storm
       C                  G       
And I know you had some trouble 
         F       C
with your heart bereft
      C              G         
It’s hard to keep a lonely heart 
   C    G C
warm


 G                               
They don’t carry coals North, you 
  F
won’t have any help
           G                     
There’s a measure of time in your 
   F
drink
        G                        
Can’t trust that in the next one, 
               F
you won’t be back on the same shelf
          G                        
So pitch time to do or die, to 
      F
float or sink


    Am                          
And we live in the steel yard on 
  F
reels of information
        Am                         
And we love along the white lines 
       F
in the middle of the road
         Am                        
And our care lies in the telegraph 
               F
poles and the taxi to the station
         Am                   
And you know the one that died 
             F
became some elemental code

And what was the song that was 
    F
playing
        C     G      F
in the café when we heard?
       G                        
Wasn’t one of the greats, but it 
         F
rang through me for a moment
 C                 G          C  
Something about a murder, a 
      G                C
brood, a fleet, a flock of birds


           C             G        
Now the spheres of your loving are
  F      C
 cast adrift
         C         G      C    G C
To the shores of another land
         C               G   
And the packers and the movers 
           F       C
haven’t time to lift
     C              G       C   G C
Any more than what lies to hand


         G                      
Now the border of reality is the 
        F
most crowded any place
         G                     F
Where a myth can be a public dream
          G                     
To the throes of this existence, 
         F
you’ll take your lovely’s face
        G                        F
As the light slips out of every seam


        Am                         
As the key turns, we burn brightly,
    F
 an effervescent lover
      Am                           
In a last kiss with a dew drop, as 
     F
the sun begins to fall
        Am                  
And in darkness please tread 
              F
lightly, oh see what you discover
        Am                         
In the feeling, oh, the feeling of 
    F
the elemental call



      C           G          
And what was the song that was 
    F
playing
        C     G      F
in the café when we heard?
       G

         F

 C                 G          C  
Something about a murder, a 
      G                F
brood, a fleet, a flock of birds
