Time Unremembered

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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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