C Am Em 2x Em Do you remember me? We met out on the farm Em By the fire, you spoke to me And held me in your arms Em The songs you played for me I long to understand Em All along the watchtower And castles made of sand C Am Em When there was a wilderness, we wandered wild and free C Am Em Guilt, she is the governess that guides me back to grief C Am Em What if we were dumb enough to spend eternity C Am Em A Gathering the garbage washed up on the beach? A Ahhh Em slide 1x Em Do you remember me?
