Lyrics of Girl on the pier graham parker

Pre>intro: g d em7c
G dem7 c

Gdem7c
As the twilight was returning and the sun began to fall
Gdem7 c
I walked down to the beach front and watched the whitecaps roll
Gdem c
A flare exploded over the ocean. an orange tear
G dem c g
Then i saw at the corner of my eye the girl at the end of the pier

Intro repeat

Gdem7c
She stood and stared at the brightness, glowing and complete
Gd em7c
In her crinoline and lacing with the wood beneath her feet
Gdemc
She walked in splinters shedding the salt of a single tear
Gdem7
Who will fill up the vacuum inside her,
Cg d em7 c
The girl at the end of the pier

Bridge

Emcemc
The toffee apples strewn on the pavement. the candy floss sticks to the tar
Emc
The organ grinder's monkey's been freed from enslavement
Emd
He ran beneath the wheels of a family car

Intro repeat / bridge repeat

Gdem7c
Now the funfair is shut down and the coconut shy is gone
Gdem7c
A carousel spins on regardless and the big wheel creaks and groans
Gdemc
No-one saw her run to the railing and disappear
Gdemcg d
One more drop in an unfeeling ocean, the girl at the end of the pier
Gdem7cg
One more drop in an unfeeling ocean, the girl at the end of the pier
Dem7 cg d em7 c g
Girl at the end of the piergirl at the end of the pier /pre>
