Intro: C 

           C                             D7  
Like the thorn bush twines against the chain link fence 
          Dm                                  Fm G 
Like the spider spins its rings between the trees 
         Dm              G#m  G        C 
And the lonely sycamore bends to the breeze 

C                          D7  
I am the puddles in the street  
 Dm                        Fm  G 
waiting for your falling leaves 
  C                                     D7  
Twine your vines around me, drop your branches in my path 
 Dm                   Fm G 
Linger, let me linger 

Fm G Fm G Fm G C 

  F                Fm           C 
Hearts drawn on a dusty window pane,  
   Dm                     G 
a love note lying in the road 
   F             Fm                C 
A car circling round a darkened street,  
   Dm                   G 
a woman crying on the phone 

C                                  D7  
We are like the crickets in the spring,  
 Dm                     Fm  G 
calling out from under stones 
  C                                     D7  
Twine your vines around me, drop your branches in my path 
 Dm                   Fm G 
Linger, let me linger 
  C                  D7       Dm         Fm G
