Starlings

Em G7 Am7 Cadd9 Em G7 Well, we watched the starlings fly, Am7 Cadd9 Around the burnt-down pier, and I Em G7 Am7 Cadd9 Spilled my coffee on my sleeve, Em G7 She wiped it with a smile, Am7 Cadd9 And told me I was juvenile, Em G7 Am7 Cadd9 And kissed me softly on my cheek Em Am7 And her hair danced in the breeze, Cadd9 G7 Like a thousand swinging trees, Em Am7 G7 In a forest lying next to stormy seas Em G7 Well, we watched the wintry sky, Am7 Cadd9 Turn a shade of turquoise, I, Em G7 Am7 Cadd9 Whispered softly, "I feel lost, " Em G7 She turned with laughing eyes, Am7 Cadd9 And curled her lips towards the sky, Em G7 Am7 Cadd9 And said, "get your map out, then, you knob!" Em Am7 And we laughed like a pair of fools, Cadd9 G7 Like kids, they laugh at school, Em Am7 G7 And we wandered home before the day brought dusk
