   Four in the morning the sidewalk's asleep
            C                        G
Dogs on the porch and spiders on the leaf
               Dm                     Am 
Shipwrecked by night, sailing through days
         E       E7            Am
Nobody   noticed that slipping away

Am                C                       Am
   Connecting the dots with thorns in his side
               C                          G
Boarded up the windows with pain and with pride
              Dm                       Am 
The music box broken that once was his soul
                E        E7             Am
It's sad little song spinning out of control

  Then came the storm that washed the roads out
                C/G                       G 
Closed both his eyes and pointed straight south
              Dm                   Am
Second line drums marched into the sea
                     E              Am
While the clouds overhead cried mutiny
                E                    Am
They parted for Cathy and her bitter news
             Dm                   Am
As her words failed, the sky grew dim
             E                       Am
Recalled how close to that exit I've been

    Ours not to reply,     ours not to reason why
C                      G
  Well, the news about William
    F          C         C              F
The lifeline resist, the desire for the breeze
    Am
The thorns in his side
