A minorAm
The window opens I hear the toddling waves
I think about the soldiers, I think about the interstates

        G+G                A minorAm
I would like to leave it all just for a week or two

          G+G             A minorAm
Maybe I'd see it in clarity, whatever I would see

A minorAm
It's all so confusing, I don't know where I stand
I could be anything but not yours on demand

        G+G             A minorAm
I would like to leave it all if I only could

          G+G                A minorAm
Maybe I'd see it in clarity if I'd see anything at all

    Am*  G*    Am*     Am*    G*    Am*
But the birds they are singing that sweet and lonesome song

  G*    Am*
Oh mother oh brother

       A minorAm
Take me home today


A minorAm
You may call me irresponsible or even carefree
But it's not the way I intended to be

        G+G             A minorAm
I would like to stay here and not say a word

          G+G                A minorAm
Maybe I'd see it in clarity, or I'll see nothing at all

    Am*  G*    Am*     Am*    G*   Am*
But the wolfs they are howling that sweet but haunted song

  G*    Am*
Oh father oh sister

       A minorAm
Take me home today
