Strum
D-DU-UDU
 All the things that I needed
Wasted  my chances
I  have found myself wanting
When  a mother and father gave  me their problems
 I accepted  them all
Nothing  ever expected
I  was rejected
 But I came back for more
And  my ashes drift beneath  the silver sky
 Where a boy  rides on a bike and never smiles
And  my ashes fall on all  the things we said
 On a box  of photographs under the bed
 I will stay in my own world
 Under the covers
 I will feel save inside
 A kiss that will burn me
 Cure me of dreaming
 I was always returning
 And my ashes find a way beyond the fog
 And return to save the child that I forgot
 And my ashes fade among the things unseen
 And the dream plays in reverse on piano-keys
 And my ashes drown upon a ( )
 Never ending clouds of rain and distant sails
 And distant sails
