As simple as it seems          (Pleasures are endowed)

Hopelessly insane         (As tender as the trees)

It's too late for leaving footprints on the sand

Willing/Chilling is the wine    (Gentle as the air)

I've surrendered to the time    (There's a stillness to be shared)

All the ashtrays have been powdered to the brim

I'd only like to fall
     C# minorC#m
Watching whispers on the wall
D MajorD       E MajorE           A augmentedA G+G   A augmentedA
But someone's making up the bed and defining sin
