Standard (EADGBE)

In parallel sea what would I be?

 My first love said to me,

 "Tears out for the world to see"

 I would not be

 I did not see the chinaberry tree

 Tears out, it would feel so

 Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly

Hard now to picture a me

 Without a you, without a you

Bridge

"Don't interfere"

 Part of her back was frozen

 For the remainder of the war

 "Don't be concerned"

 But I never learned how not to be

 As my first love said to me,

 "I don't care. I'm not there."

 So that I could not sleep

 My whole being was falling apart

 So that I soon cried out,

 "Dear friends, hold me!"
