To Ramona (video)

C G

1. Ramona, come closer, shut softly your watery eyes,

G C

the pangs of your sadness wil pass as your senses will rise.

F G

The flowers of the city though breathlike get deathlike at times,

G

and there's no use in tryin' to deal with the dyin' 

G7 C

though I cannot explain that in lines.

C

2. Your soft country lips I still wish to kiss 

G

as to be under the strength of your skin,

G C

your magnetic movements still capture the minutes I'm in.

F

Though it grieves my heart, love, to see you tryin' to be a part of

G

a world that just don't exist.

G

It's all just a dream, babe, a vacuum a scheme, babe, 

G7 C

that sucks you into feelin' like this.

C

3. I can see that your head has been twisted and fed

G

by worthless foam from the mouth,

G

I can tell you are torn between stayin' and returnin'

C

on back to the South.

F G

From fixtures and forces and friends your sorrow does stem,

G

that hype you and type you, making you feel

G7 C

that you must be exactly like them.

C

4. I'd forever talk to you, but soon my words,

G

they would turn into a meaningless ring,

G C

for deep in my heart I know there is no help I can bring.

F

Everything passes, everything changes,

G

just do what you think you should do,

G

and someday, maybe, who knows, baby, 

G7 - C

I'll come and be cryin' to y…..ou.
