     Aadd2         4 
There was a man back in '95
                Aadd2
Whose heart ran out of summers 
              
But before he died, I asked him 
                
Wait, what's the sense in life
                      
Come over me, Come over me
 
He said,
                      
Son why you got to sing that tune 
                Aadd2                 
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
                             
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
                       
Then you will see... You will see

      
Then he said,

      Aadd2          
Picked up my kid from school today
              Aadd2              
Did you learn anything cause in the world today
                            
You can't live in a castle far away
                          
Now talk to me, come talk to me
 
He said, 
          Aadd2                
Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small
                Aadd2                  
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
                                             
Still  every mother's child sings a lonely song
                     Esuss4                   
So play with me, come play with me

There are secrets that we still have left to find
                                          
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
                                      
There are answers we're not wise enough to see
