I had this
Em
dream where I r
D
elished the f
G
ray
and the
D
screaming filled
Em
my head all
D
day.
C
D
It was as
Em
though I'd been
D
spit here, settled
G
in,
into the
D
pocket of a
Em
lighthouse on
D
some rocky
C
socket,
off the
D
coast of France, dear.
Em
D
One after
G
noon, four thousand
D
men died in the
Em
water
D
here
and
C
five hundred
D
more were thrashing
Em
madly as
D
parasites
G
might
in
D
your blood.

D
Now I was in a
Em
lifeboat designe
D
d for ten and ten
G
only,
any
D
thing that system
Em
atic would get you
D
hated.
It's
C
not a deal nor a
D
test nor a
Em
love of something
D
fated-(
G
uh).
D
The selection
Em
was quick, the crew was
D
picked (in
G
order)
and
D
those left in the
Em
water got
D
kicked off our
C
pantleg
D
and we
Em
headed for home.

Then the
Em
dream ends when the
D
phone rings, you doing
G
alright
he said it's
D
out there most
Em
days and nights,
but
D
only a
C
fool would comp
D
lain.
Any
Em
way
D
Susan, if you
G
like, our conver
D
sation
is as
Em
faint as a
D
sound in my
C
memory,
D
as those
Em
fingernails
D
scratching on
G
my hull.
