Your swimming pool eyes

Gold number with neighbo-urs

I drew from you

Our life's pattern's drawn in sand

                         D
But the winds could not erase

The memory of your face
[Verse 7]
            C    
Deep in the night

C                     D    D*  D
  Plying very strange cargo

                    F
Our soul ships pass by-----y---y---

Gliding so fa-ar

  That the eye cannot follow

              F
Where do they go---?

  We'll never know
