CALEXICO - The News About William
AM C AM
4 in the morning the sidewalk's asleep
AM C
Dogs on the porch,
C G
Spiders on the leaf
G DM AM
Shipwrecked by night sailing through days
AM E AM
Nobody noticed the slipping away
AM C AM
Connecting the dots with thorns in his side
AM C G
Boarded up the Windows with pain and with pride
G DM AM
The music box broken that once was his soul
AM E AM
Its sad little song spinning out of control
G C G
Then came the storm that washed the roads out
G C G
Closed both his eyes and pointed straight south
G DM AM
Second line drums marched into the sea
AM E AM
While the clouds overhead cried "mutiny"
AM E AM
They parted for Cathy and her bitter news
AM DM AM
As her words fail and the sky grew dim
AM E AM
Recalled how close to that exit l've been
C AM C AM
Ours not to reply, ours not to reason why
C G
The news about William
F C
The lifeline retreats
F AM
Desire for release
AM
The thorns in his side
