G
The 3 month ride sticks in your mind
C#                                      C
As though the insides of your head were a big screen.

And coming in on a evening wind.

It's the unmistakable scent of brilliantine.

What kind of memory serves, what kind of world is it,

That comes headlong at you, then swerves at the last possible second?

In the squinting sun and slow down.

Think of life as one long continuous evening
That never turns into night.
Hey hey!
