Verse 3 (Same as Verse 1)
I saw Collie
She's running free
I saw the ships
Sailing to see
And my queen smiled at me
Yea Matilda looked through me

Chorus (Same)
Ah then you
you went away
Ah then you
you went away

Outro (Bridge verse and chords, end abruptly on D)

What would you do if the sun hit the ground
And trees poked holes beneath the sea
Food everywhere, and fog on the waves
and fish float by gravity
