Intro:

G/A D
Did you see our brother
Asus4 A
He was here the other day
F#m Bm Em
But he only came to say that he was leaving
A D
Did you see his lady
Asus4 A
She was looking where he'd gone
F#m Bm Em
But she wasn't letting on that she was grieving
A D
She's bound to go
G A D
Perhaps she'll find him waiting for his boat in some city far away
A G D/F# Em D
She's bound to go
Asus4 D Asus4 A
Lately I remember afternoons of smoke and wine
F#m Bm Em
There was nothing we could find but peace and pleasure
A D
And with a smile he told me
Asus4 A F#m Bm Em
That he wanted just to be on his way across the sea no man can measure
A D
He won't be back,
G A D
And the sun may find him sleeping in the dust of some ruin far away
A G D/F# Em D
He won't be back
G D
Early today as I watched while the skyline was shaking
Asus4
I heard a rumbling
G D
Early today the mechanical city was waking
Asus4
And I ran out stumbling, mumbling
Asus4 D A
Out through the laughter of children and dogs
A D
Did you see our brother
Asus4 A
He was here the other day
F#m Bm Em
But he only came to say that he can't breathe here
A D
Did you see his lady
Asus4 A
She was reaching for his hand
F#m Bm Em
Just as if to tell her man that she can't either
A D
They're bound to go
G A D
And the sun may find me running after them, seeing something far away
A G D/F# Em D G D
We won't be back
Someone who had been away
Suddenly came back today
and I allowed a hope to stray into my mind
For a moment face to face
We looked back upon the place
Where long ago he went to chase our careless time
Oh, what do you know
Not what I've been feeling
The past is healing so slow
My tomorrow Gone from sorrow
Did you see our brother
He was here the other day
But he only came to say that he was leaving
Did you see his lady
She was looking where he'd gone
But she wasn't letting on that she was grieving
She's bound to go
Perhaps she'll find him waiting for his boat in some city far away
She's bound to go
Lately I remember afternoons of smoke and wine
There was nothing we could find but peace and pleasure
And with a smile he told me
That he wanted just to be on his way across the sea no man can measure
He won't be back,
And the sun may find him sleeping in the dust of some ruin far away
He won't be back
Early today as I watched while the skyline was shaking
I heard a rumbling
Early today the mechanical city was waking
And I ran out stumbling, mumbling
Out through the laughter of children and dogs
Did you see our brother
He was here the other day
But he only came to say that he can't breathe here
Did you see his lady
She was reaching for his hand
Just as if to tell her man that she can't either
They're bound to go
And the sun may find me running after them, seeing something far away
We won't be back
.....Someone who had been away
.....Suddenly came back today
.....And I allowed him home today into my mind
.....For a moment face to face
.....Evil packed upon the place
.....Long ago he meant to stay out there this time
.....Oh, what do you know
.....The love that I've been feeling
.....The past is healing so slow
.....By tomorrow, gone from sorrow.

Do you know the mad man.

Saying to a shadow, that the time is drawing near.

When the world must disappear, one of these mornings.
