Chords: 
A A7 D Dm C G Am F E 
 
A 
So without a thought I thought I'd take a final walk 
A7 
The tide of public opinion had started to abate 
D 
The neighbors (bless 'em) had turned out to be all talk 
Dm 
I could see their frightened faces peering at me through the gate 
 
A 
Was looking for an end to this for some kind of closure 
A7                                             D 
Time moved so rapidly I had no hope of keeping track of it  
 
And I thought of my friends who had died of exposure 
      Dm 
And I remembered all the ones who had died from the lack of it 
 
A 
And in my best shoes I started falling forward down the street 
A7 
Stopped at a church and jostled through the crowd 
D 
Love followed just behind me panting at my feet as the  
Dm 
Steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud 
 
A 
Inside I sat seeking the presence of a God 
A7 
Searched through the pictures in a leather-bound book 
      D 
And I found a wooly lamb dozing in an issue of blood  
      Dm 
And a gilled Jesus shivering on a fisherman's hook 
 
A 
Babe 
            A7 
It seems so long 
                  D    Dm 
Since you've been gone away 
    C            G 
And I just gotta say 
              Am     G        F    E 
That it grows darker with the day 
 
A                                             A7 
Back on the street I saw a great, big smiling sun 
                                          D                                               
It was a good day and an evil day and all was bright and new 
                                                   Dm 
And it seemed to me the most destruction was being done 
 
By those who could not choose between the two 
A 
Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones 
A7                                                      D 
The streets groaned with little ceasars, napoleons, and cunts 
 
With their building blocks and their tiny plastic phones 
Dm 
Counting on their fingers with the crumbs down their fronts 
 
A                                  A7 
I passed by garden so you with your flowers 
                                          D 
The camellias, magnolias, and azaleas so sweet 
 
I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds 
Dm 
You looked so beautiful in the rising heat 
A 
I smell smoke see little fires bursting on the lawns 
A7 
People carry on regardless listening to their hands 
D 
Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns 
Dm 
Bored in disgusted to do us down 
 
A 
Babe 
            A7 
It seems so long 
      D                Dm 
Since you've been gone away 
    C            G 
And I just gotta say 
              Am     G        F    E 
That it grows darker with the day 
 
A 
All these streets are frozen now; I come and go 
A7 
Full of a longing for something I do not know 
D 
My father sits slumped in the deepening snow 
Dm 
As I search in and out, above, about, and below 
 
A 
Babe 
            A7 
It seems so long 
      D                Dm 
Since you've been gone away 
    C            G 
And I hope and I pray 
              Am     G        F    E 
That it grows darker with the day
