Intro:
DmDm


Verse 1:

DmDm
Though by the path I lead The passing of time and the pouring of tea

Bb majorBb       FF    C majorC
Are all I've lately seen

DmDm
Until our temporal bridge be burned Until our anchor stocks hold firm

Bb majorBb                FF       C majorC
Where the hands of clocks don't turn, O my soul

DmDm
May our lips remain discreet While your traps are beneath our feet--

    Bb majorBb        FF     C majorC
but how long before our tails are caught

       DmDm
by our "free" thought?

Chorus:

Bb majorBb         C majorC   Bb majorBb
Sugar in the cane, candles low

G minorGm        FF       G minorGm   FF
Kettle low on the flame for the teapot? No

Bb majorBb         C majorC   Bb majorBb DmDm
Sugar in the cane, candles low


Verse 2:

   FF
On the Streets of Mexican Wars

         Eb MajorEb
I battle with the memory of a first fight

    FF
In our contemptible youth, quoted White Nights

     Eb MajorEb
Thinking I’d get rid of you, Waited with a stone in my hand

               Bb majorBb
but you were right and Nature had another plan

          DmDm
Nature had another plan


Chorus:

Bb majorBb         C majorC    Bb majorBb
Sugar in the cane, candles low

    G minorGm    FF       G minorGm     FF
On the West End Bridge looking down at the Ohio

Bb majorBb         C majorC    Bb majorBb
Sugar in the cane, candles low

  G minorGm      FF       G minorGm    FF
You panic like a mouse when the lights go on

Bb majorBb         DmDm
Sugar in the cane, candles low
