As the twilight was returning and the sun began to fall

I walked down to the beach front and watched the whitecaps roll

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

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,

The toffee apples strewn on the pavement. the candy floss sticks to the tar

The organ grinder's monkey's been freed from enslavement
Emd
He ran beneath the wheels of a family car
