verse 1 
C 
By the shattered calls of a mother's arms 
All swept-inside like the rosary 
F 
That fell away when her girlish charms 
Cried out to take on motherhood 
C 
She waits by the windowsill 
All wrapped in white and puzzling 
F 
What happened to the child inside? 
Who ran the streets and the days at night... 

C She says, 'Nothing seems the same.' And, 'I can't change a thing.' F 'My body's like a wave, breaking to the sea.' C She says, 'Everything seems strange.' Locked behind the years F But life is ours to find, in the days at night
verse 2 C There passes a stranger every eve Who walks himself on a silver-leash F And in his head, the worlds asleep Or, so the wrinkles in his hands believe C When he was young, he had a dream To be a star, on the movie-screen F Now it all seems a silly lie As he walks alone And, the days on fire
C He says, 'Nothing seems the same.' And, 'I can't feel a thing.' F 'My bodies like a wave, caving in on me' C He says, 'Everything seems strange.' Holding back the tears F And he smiles just like a child In the days at night
Refrain C Mother of song You'll find the right way F To cherish in dreams All of the small things C Father in time You'll find a world F That's so perfect and calm All of the small things Refrain C Mother of song You'll find the right way F To cherish in dreams All of the small things C Father in time You'll find a world F That's so perfect and calm All of the small things Refrain C Mother of song You'll find the right way F To cherish in dreams All of the small things C Father in time You'll find a world F That's so perfect and calm All of the small things Refrain C Mother of song You'll find the right way F To cherish in dreams All of the small things C Father in time You'll find a world F That's so perfect and calm All of the small things
