Picking up scales and broken chords
puppy dog tails in the House Of Lords

Tell me darling
what can it mean ?
Making up moons in a minor key
what have those tunes got to do with me

Tell me darling
where have you been ?
Once upon a long ago
children searched for treasure

Nature's plan went hand in hand with pleasure
such pleasure.
Blowing balloons on a windy day
desolate dunes with a lot to say

Tell me darling
what have you seen ?
Once upon a long ago
children searched for treasure
. . .
Playing guitars on an empty stage
counting the bars of an iron cage

Tell me darling
what can it mean ?
Picking up scales and broken chords
puppy dog tails in the House Of Lords

Help me darling
what does it mean ?
- Once upon a long
long
long ago
children searched for treasure
. . . -
