All the pictures on the wall
Am/C
The sand lying on the floor
Dm
The bed upstairs
Still unmade
Dm
The dust flow in the light
Am/C
The people just left
B
All left a mess
F/A
Forgetting this and that
Gm F C
I’m rushing back
Dm
The front door open
The music still playing
In one room down the hall
Am/C Dm
And towels on the floor
Dm
And then it’s quiet
Just the bees and birds
Am/C
The summer haze
B
Of the trees
F/A
And the air
Gm F
Feeds it all
C
Feeds it all
Dm
We can all feel it
Am/C B
Like a light hand on your back
F/A
Welcoming you
Dm
We can all feel it
Am/C B
Like a light hand on your back
Dm/A
Welcoming you
Gm F C
The day before we went to war
C
The day before we went to war
Dm
We can all feel it
All the parasols and kids at play
The sea so still and calm
Blue as the cloudless sky
Just the gentle hum
Of the summer’s goings on
Broken by the sudden rush
Of two planes
Flying low and fast
Into the sun
Into the sun
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
The day before we went to war
C7
The day before we went to war
