Against the silver sheen of a moon like painted glass

We shared a clove cigarette on the parapet

As the TVs glowed from the windows of the model homes
C majorC       E minorEm       C majorC      E minorEm        C majorC
And I'd never be that close again to your lips and perfect skin
    E minorEm       G+G    A minorAm
As the tide receded into the unknown
