about

We should have such a chair...

lyrics

In my backyard there's a chair
Pointed towards the setting sun
I like to go sit there
When the evening's just begun

And I ponder about nothing
My mind as empty as your heart
I know you won't wear my ring
Now that we live apart

Sometimes I hum an old folk song
Sometimes I close my eyes and swear
That nothing's bad, nothing's wrong
When I sit in that old chair

I smell the smell of fresh cut grass
Drifting from another yard
I see the world through the stained glass
Of the past that I discard

I hear the wind rustle through the leaves
The songs of love and happiness
I feel the thrill of the thieves
I remember when you said yes

Am C
The sun comes down behind the trees G
Sitting there, hugged by the breeze D
My world finally at ease
Am
I listen to the buzzy bees
Flying to flowers as they please
As I dream of soothing seas

Tonight I hum an old folk song
Tonight I close my eyes and swear
That nothing's bad, nothing's wrong
When I sit in my old chair

In my backyard there's a chair
Pointed towards the setting sun
I like to go sit there
When the evening's just begun
