The Cool Ivory Wonderful



It’s unlike me to wallow over

Unrequited ghosts when they hover

over me

wait! I’ve had enough



Had a laugh, had a joke

had a smile now I say

That I just don’t know anymore

Oh God, I don’t know what to say, except it’s been wonderful
(Here I would lose the duet on the Oh God, I don’t know what to say and then hit except it’s been wonderful with the F to E harmony)


Every shadow cowers from a new day

My, my hours fall out of sand like

crocodiles

deep in the Nile



And when you fall

out of love

There’s nothing to say

what was your soul so slips away

the wildest of hearts

all turns to grey


Had a laugh, had a joke

had a smile now I say

That I just don’t know anymore

Oh God, I don’t know what to say, except it’s been wonderful



One day turn around and the Sun is gone

One day turn around and the Sun is gone

I don’t wanna lie
I don’t wanna lie
I don’t wanna lie

I don’t love you anymore



And when you fall out of love

there’s nothing to say

what was your soul so slips away

the wildest of hearts all turns to grey



Had a laugh, had a joke

had a smile now I say

That I just don’t know anymore

Oh God I don’t know what to say, except it’s been wonderful


I surrendered love cause I’m foolish
I surrendered love cause I’m foolish
I surrendered love cause I’m foolish
I surrendered love cause I’m foolish
