She takes the back road and the lane
LAm7 RE7
Past the school that has not changed in all this time
LAm7 LAm6
She thinks of when the boy was young
SI MIm LAm7
All the battles she had won just to give him life
LAm6 LAm7 RE7
That man, she loved that man for all his life
LAm7 LAm6 SI MIm
And now we meet to take him flowers and only God knows why
RE6 SI7/MIb FA#m
For what's the use of pressing palms when children fade in mothers' arms?
RE6
It's a cruel world, we've so much to lose
SI7/MIb MI MIsus4 MI
And what we have to learn, we rarely choose
RE7/LA DO7/SOL RE/FA#
So if it's God who took her son
REm/FA MI7 LAm
He cannot be the one living in her mind

"Take care, my love", she said, "Don't think that God is dead"

LAm7 LAm6
You brushed my eyes with angels' wings
SI MIm
Full of love, the kind that makes devils cry
LAm7 LAm6 LAm7 RE7
So, these days my life has changed and I'll be fine
LAm7 LAm6 SI MIm
But she just sits and counts the hours, searching for her crime
RE6 SI7/MIb FA#m
So what's the use of pressing palms if you won't keep such love from harm?
RE6
It's a cruel world, you've so much to prove
SI7/MIb MI MIsus4 MI
And heaven help the ones who wait for you
RE7/LA DO7/SOL RE/FA#
Well, I've no daughters, I've no sons
REm/FA MI7 LAm
Guess I'm the only one living in my life
