Verse 1:

A majorA spring remembered
       D MajorD
The taste of gin

An eyelet light upon our skin

Your form it lingers

The?songs we sang I'll sing again

Thick with mud

Break through the banks and run
        D MajorD   A augmentedA
And I confess I liked it
       D MajorD
I cheered the flood
     D MajorD   A augmentedA    E MajorE     A augmentedA
When the water hit the walls and won

The roads are endless

They seem to grow

Vines that wind around the world
       D MajorD  A augmentedA
And though I hate it
      D MajorD
To leave my home
 D MajorD     A augmentedA     E MajorE    A augmentedA
I love that car when I need to go

Holding my dear friends and drinking wine
