[Verse 1]
[G]I fell asleep in
Trieste
Harbour with my [C]back against the wall
And I [D]swear we're only half awake
till [G]something sees us fall
All the houses in the harbour
were as [C]ripe as watermelons
In the af[D]ternoon cathedral of the red [G]-hot
July sun
I held my head under the water
of a [C]fountain clear as glass
As [D]I lay my head upon your heart
as [G]you lay on the grass
There was a bird and I remember
how it [C]flew across the sun
And how its [D]shadow fell upon
us as the cloud[G]s moved in
I fell asleep in
Massachusetts
With my [C]head against the wall
And [D]I slept like I was streaming
For a thou[G]sand souls
When I raised my head the water
was the [C]colour of the sun
And my [D]heart was full of fortune and
my [G]head a slight [C]ascent
[D]Mmm...[G][C]
[D][G]
We made love among the pine trees
on an [C]island full of butterflies
Where [D]hot successive summers
had [G]turned the grass to hay
All the trees so still above our heads
were [C]tender with the scent of pine
And [D]static with both
sunshine and for[G]getfulness
I fell asleep and when I woke up
All the [C]world was somehow different
The [D]colours burned more brightly
And the sun[G]light seemed more strong
I remember blue glass shadows
And [C]the fine hair of your arms
All the cloud[D]s in the cathedral
Of the [G]red -hot
July sun
[C]Mmmh, [D]mmmh, mmmh, [G]mmmh.[C][D][G]
you
