The Park

C
It took hold of me
C7                Am
I saw a grown man crying
Dm               G               C               Am
I ricocheted the difference as a stranger kindly watching
Dm     G                     C  Am
From a park bench across the street

Dm     G

G           C           C7
And it took hold of me
                          Am
I wonder what this man is borrowing
Dm                  G                 C                   Am
Has he unlocked the pattern from that well that he's been drawing from
Dm             G                C Am
As he dips the shadows unto his feet?

Dm     G

G           C          C7
And it took hold of me
                           Am
Was someone planting him a garden?
Dm              G           C                    Am
Was her hair as long as the streams within a fountain
        Dm
Pouring light
       G                 C Am
Into a home he could not keep

Dm     G

C7                   F
Oh how nice to see a pattern broken
          D7                        G
When I've never even seen my father weep

G7

G7         C          C7
So it took hold of me
                           Am
Was someone planting him a daughter
Dm              G             C             Am                Dm
Was her life as strong as the river pushing water from the sides
        G         C Am
And gently out to sea

Dm     G

G           C          C7
And it took hold of me
                      Am
I offer cigarette and lighter
  Dm            G                    C            Am
I know it isn't much but if it makes spirits feel higher
Dm          G                  C Am
We push the smoke out into the street

Dm    G

         C   Am
Into the street
Dm    G
         C   Am
Into the street
Dm    G    C
