Em Em7
Looking down on empty streets, All she can see,

Are the dreams all made solid, Are the dreams made real.

All of the buildings, All of the cars.
C Am7
Were once just a dream, In somebody's head.
Em Em7
She pictures the broken glass, Pictures the steam.
C Am7 Em
She pictures a soul, With no leak at the seam. Lets
Em7
take the boat out, (Wait until darkness).

Let's take the boat out, (Wait until darkness comes).

Pulling out the papers, From the drawers that slide smooth.

Tugging at the darkness, Word upon word

Con-fessing all the secret things, In the warm velvet box,

To the priest; he's the doctor, He can handle the shocks.

Of kissing Mary's lips.
