[Intro]
Em G Em
Em D Bm D
Tell me Margaret, what is coming down this river?
G D C Em
You’ve been watching so much longer now than I.
Am Em D
Do you know Margaret, just what will this day deliver,
G C Em
Does it work out tooth for tooth and eye for eye?
Em D Am Em Am
They started stacking up the stones the very day that you were born.
Em D Am Em
No matter how you grew, they would tower above you.
D Am Em Am C
You could change your name, move all the way to sunny California.
Am C Am
But when you start your life anew, does that long shadow follow you?
Em G D G C D C
Who was it Margaret, that chose to resurrect you here for me, in scattered lines of poetry,
Em
This distant, wistful girl I see reflected in your eyes?
C Em D C
Forgive me Margaret, all the ways I am mistaken, all the liberties I’ve taken,
C Em
I’ve projected you in costumes I don’t think were quite your size.
D Am Em
Now here I’m climbing up these stones a hundred years from where you were born,
D Am Em
Looking for a song that could take me to you.
D Am Em D C
I have traced these roads, drove past your home in Burbank, California,
Am C D
But you were not inside you’ve found a better place to hide.
Am C Em
And tell me Margaret, when I’m gone, what will I want,
C D C
To be left at the bottom of a garbage bin, or dusted off and pulled up onto stage?
Em G D C
Will it please me when someone lights a candle and says my name?
C D Em D
Will I say leave me in my pyramid, blow out the flame and close the lid,
C Am
This story’s done, why don’t we turn the page?
