Sometimes I Wonder

C   Fmaj7   C   Fmaj7


C                Csus4  C
I wonder how the people feel 
     F              Fsus4  F
That wake up in the city streets
C                 G                 C
And realize, like fingers, they are numbered. 
    C                  Csus4  C
And though the bottles tinkle there, 
 F             Fsus4   F
Glisten in the morning air, 
     C          G                     C
Like bells from dreams that they've remembered. 
      Dm               G                Asus2 - Am - Asus4 - Am - Asus2 - Am
And a gutter's kingdom broken they must follow
       Dm                 G            C       Fmaj7   C   Fmaj7
As the garbage calls them in the early morning.

And I wonder how the lovers feel
When passion mixed with promises
Of perfumed touches stay that way forever.
Perhaps they know that it will change
When morning comes and light begins,
For love can make a night seem like forever.
And love will also tell you when it's over,
For love is just as frivolous as never.

The martyrs never saw their dreams,
Cast out like lepers in the night,
And there were Christs who knew but wouldn't tell them.
And I say to you there has to be
Another kind of perfect sea,
Another kind of wind that doesn't chill them.
And another kind of laughter not forbidden,
Perhaps a sweeter kiss that wouldn't kill them.

Well, some have found the river's end
And those in dungeons never will.
Some have found a way to stop the bleeding.
And sainthood seems to work for some,
Sometimes a curse will cleanse the streets,
But it really doesn't matter who you're telling,
And it really doesn't matter who is listening,
For the grass that covers all is slowly growing.

(Words and music by Patrick Sky, 1967)
