Em D G
I had this dream where I relished the fray
D Em D C D
And the screaming filled my head all day

Em D G
It was as though I'd been spit here, settled in,
D Em D C
Into the pocket of a lighthouse on some rocky socket
D Em D
Off the coast of France, dear.

G D Em D
One afternoon, four thousand men died in the water here
C D Em
And five hundred more were thrashing madly
D G D Em D C D
As parasites might in your blood

Em D G
Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only,
D Em D
Anything that systematic would get you hated.
C D
It's not a deal nor a test nor a
Em D G D
love of something fated.

Em D G
The selection was quick, the crew was picked in order
D Em D C
And those left in the water were kicked off our pant legs
D Em G C D
And we headed for home

Em G C D

Em D
Then the dream ends when the phone rings
G D
You doing alright he said it's out there
Em D C D
Most days and nights but only a fool would complain

Em D G D
Anyway Susan, if you like, our conversation
Em D C D
Is faint as sound in my memory,
Em D C D
As those fingernails scratching on my hull.

Em D C D
