Pieces of cake

Until they break apart

Now it burns on grass too steep to climb

Darkness in their face

Should I move into the clear

Find a time in which I throw it away,  get out today

Merry-go-round

Bb       Ab        Gb

In a town without sound

Wings for hire

Bb         Ab           Gb

From the church with no choir

The burning ship is sailing

The stalks of fire are failing

There goes the price of drowning

So I must swim, swim to the end

Each day the head needs crowning

Gm    F      Am   D

Too much to mend...

 

 

Not 100% sure of the middle descending part, but I think the notes
