Forgett came in my house yesterday
my house that’s on decay where roof and tapestry is rotten
where the fire place isn’t getting hot and everything is forgotten

(same as above)
Forgett came in my house yesterday
don’t know if he wanna stay
he lays him down like a child
in garden that’s run pretty wild
and we laugh at each other’s smile

I understood in my life
that never anybody else could change one’s drive
but you have to prove by your own heart and hand
and though I know that I’m not out of the woods yet
I feel so good

Forgett came in my house yesterday
my house that’s not for sale since we had that
sweet tea together since he sits in that leather sofa
since we’re together

Forgett came in my house yesterday
my house that’s on decay where roof and tapestry is rotten
where the fire place isn’t getting hot and everything is forgotten

Forgett came in my house yesterday

intro: Bb F Gm Eb Dm

You made me forget about

have, want and exert

and all of a sudden I feel proud

for being without saying a word

you made me forget about

past and pain

time you washed out

like a soft sudden summer rain

you do me good

you do me

so good you made me forget about

hmmm hm-hm Hm-hm

You made me forget about

have, want and exert

and all of a sudden I found out

oh it’s beautiful the way you wear your shirt

you do me good you made me forget about

hmmm

I grow old I shall wear the bottom of my trousers rolled says Elliot
I grow old I shall wear the bottom of my trousers rolled says Elliot

days keep growing short, nights too
let us go then, you and I
and try to unlearn, says Elliot
he seeks for return and burns ancient love letters

let us go then you and I and lie by marble stone says Elliot
and put a record on the gramophone
Lie down dear
on the weed
Don’t weep dear
gayly clad

sadness is a radical quantity says Elliot
sadness is a long round ribbon, says he
sadness is beautiful

I grow old I shall wear the bottom of my trousers rolled says Elliot
I grow old I shall wear my trousers rolled says Elliot

Sofly, in the winter time,
Soft-ly, when we’re about to dine,
Soft-ly, in my heart of mine,
I talk to you,

Has anybody of you two,
Got half a mind to go to the zoo?
Tonight won’t you think we’d had fun?

My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son, one by one

Softly, in the winter time,
Soft-ly, when it goes towards nine,
Soft-ly, in my heart of mine,
I talk to you.

Go feed the dog and cat and then go,
To bed and have your right own dream,
Now be well off and start with the sun.
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son, one by one

Softly, in the winter time,
Soft-ly, when day’s gonna shine,
Soft-ly, in my heart of mine,
I talk to you,
About my actual favorite matter.
That’s how to live and laugh and feel better.
I cut the bred for them and they run
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
Off and way, they set out for living
Love them if ever they come, wherever they’ve gone
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son, one by one
Sofly.

(verse)
every time I shed tears
in the last past years
when I pass through the hills

(chorus)
oh, what images return
oh I yearn
for the roots of the woods
that origin of all my strong and strange moods
I lost something in the hills
I lost something in the hills
(verse)

I grew up in declivities
others grow up in cities
where first love and soul takes rise

there where times in my life
when I felt mad and deprived
and only the slopes gave me hope
(chorus)
when I pass through the leg high grass I shall die
under the jasmin I shall die
under the elder tree
and I need not try to prepare for a new coming day
where is it that fills the deepness I feel
You will say I’m not Robin the Hood
But how could I hide from top to foot
that I lost something in the hills
I lost something in the hills
Oh I lost something in the hills

(verse)

Now I lean on my window sill
and I cry, though it’s silly
and I’m dreaming of off and away

(chorus)
oh I know further west these hills exist
marked by apple trees marked by a straight brook
that leads me wherever I want it to
well I lost something in the hills
I lost something in the hills
oh, I lost something in the hills

remember the day
when I left home to buy some food
myself in that painful february mood
I did what I could

remember that day
when I left home to just buy some food
considering if one shouldn’t die or if one should
sun was high, and I
G C A G (xxx787)
found me on the road to genoa

did you ever drive in a moonstruck constitution
and find to reach a seaport at [Em/B]dawn is a solution
you should If you could
there slowly, slowly, I no longer thought of what is good or what is not
there simply was the water’s [Em/B]smell and remoteness
I only stood

and watched that old cold ocean
in tender and bright, full, [Em/B]unspeakable emotion
I did what I could
all was good

C Em G D Em C,Em
tonight when I came home from work, hurt
tonight when I came home from work

there he unforeseen sat in the kitchen
buttering himself a bread
and the cat was on his knee
and smiled at me

tonight when I came home from work
tonight when I came home from work

there he unforeseen passed the guitar
and said ‘I battered my car
right now won’t you please give me your chair'

we had a change of the moon
we had a change of the moon

tonight when I came home from work
tonight when I came home from work

tonight when I came home from work
there he unforeseen changed in the lazy chair
and said ‘what’s that sorrow you bear?'
and I could tell him, he understood

he gently took my arm
he listened to my tears till dawn

I dedicate this song to you
tonight we had change of the moon
we had change of the moon

tonight when I came home from work
tonight when I came home from work

tonight tonight [(C] [Em)] tonight

It’s the end, friend of mine
It’s the end, friend of mine

Time is over where we could simply say I love you
now you [Fm/G]opened the door
Leave me crying
trying to embrace you again
trying t[Fm/G]o face this damn situation man I can’t

It’s the end, friend of mine
It’s the end, sweet friend of mine

Dear friend, I cannot tell the reasons why we started well
good time, give me some wine when you [Fm/G]open the door
You seem hurt, don’t try to speak a word to me
what on earth could really go[Fm/G] wrong with you and me?

Yet its the end, friend of mine
It’s the end, sweet friend of mine

Time seems to be over where we could simply say I love you
now you [Fm/G]opened the door
I feel cold
wakened, I hold you in my arms
told you that life is short but love is old

It’s the end, friend of mine
It’s the end, sweet friend
