Three legged dog, remember when you brought him home. He was talking to himself cause he’d always been alone. April is a fine time, just thought you’d be around in June. I guess we never really promised, but I’ll see you on the moon. I’ll see you on the moon, where everyone is well, And you never have to wait if you got a story to tell. And way deep down inside, you always know just what to do, When you’re flying all around up there on the moon. When I was a little girl I was always coming round. I haven’t really changed much. I’m just in a hurry now. April is a fine time, but now I’m thinking about June. We never really talked about it, but I’ll see you on the moon. I’ll see you on the moon, where everyone is well, And you never have to wait if you got a story to tell. And way deep down inside, you always know just what to do, When you’re flying all around up there on the moon. Three legged dog, out there making a fuss. I’m trying to get to sleep. It’s down to the two of us. April is a fine time, just thought you’d be around for June. I know we never really promised, but I’ll see on the moon. I’ll see you on the moon, where everyone is well, And you never have to wait if you got a story to tell. And way deep down inside, you always know just what to do, When you’re flying all around up there on the moon
I have to say the things I feel, I have to feel the things I say. See the sun rising in the east, welcome warms days, Feel my heart pounding every time we're alone, babe. Everything around me has been changing so, I can't let go, oh no.
You must live till you die, You must fight to survive. You must live till you die, You got to feel to be alive. You must live till you die.
Feel the earth trembling, have you heard distant thunder, Everything's moving, what's this feeling I'm under? Everything around me has been changing so, I can't let go, oh no.
You must live till you die, You must fight to survive. You must live till you die, You got to feel to be alive. You must live till you die.
I have to spin the spinning wheel, I have to kneel that way. I have to say the things I feel, I feel the things I say.
You must live till you die, You must fight to survive. You must live till you die, You got to feel to be alive. You must live till you die.
We never talk about it, don't know what to say We never talk about it, we just turn away
What's the point to try, say these things inside They may not come true, might not turn out right
I start to doubt myself, I feel so much and then Words aren't enough, I keep it in
We never talk about it, we make our own way through We never talk about it, we hide it all away We never talk about it, it's too much to say
[instrumental, 8 measures]
Secrets and letters, I've been saving up So many things I never told you of
Will you come on slow, say what you mean Will you tell the truth, let it all come clean
We never talk about it, we make our own way through We never talk about it, we make our own way through We never talk about it, we make our own way through We never talk about it, baby I love you
Em G C Am7 I'll tell you what I will miss Em G C Am7 California, and the horses Em G C Am7 Down by the sailboats where we waded in
Em G C C The feel of the world, in my hands, my hands Em G C C The feel of the world, in my hands, my hands G C G C My hands
And still so many ways that I love the wind From a storm in the sails to the breath on your lips It's such a little thing, then again, and again
The feel of the world, your hands, your hands The feel of the world, your hands, your hands Your hands
Am G D Am Just like the Sunday we drove out from Houston Am G D Am Out to the edge of the world, out where the sky starts to
Am G D Am C After a while in the sun, you'll be sleeping, sleeping
G C G C G C [instrumental]
I picture you now, you are beautiful, you are golden Just like you were when you thought no one was looking Time will take care of you love, time will take care of you love I will take care of you love, again, again
The feel of the world, my hands, my hands The feel of the world, my hands, my hands G C G C G C G C Em. My hands

You, how did you get so wise? I take the advice I find in your eyes. Me, I’ve been waiting outside Most of my life, Oh like a rare b-side.
I’m just making you mixtapes with homemade covers. Analog to show we’re lovers, And here under the jacket folds inside, I’ve taped my heart for you to find.
To find the perfect way, Which album to say, I la la love you. With this plastic cassette, It’s not finished yet, It’s gonna tell you slowly.
I’m just making you mixtapes with homemade covers. Strings and drawings show we’re lovers, When you’re driving around in the summertime, To hear again, just press rewind.
Rewind, the world comes to an end, Turns over again, Another 1000 times. But me, I’ll be the same. No, I never change, Oh, like a rare B-side.
I’ll be making you mixtapes with homemade covers. Analog to show we’re lovers, So much rock and roll love in a plastic case, Play it loudly, see my face. I’m just making you mixtapes with homemade covers, Mazzy Star, Donovan’s Colors, Just an audio love letter painted blue, I spent all day making for you.
