Graham Parker - Girl On The Pier Graham Parker lyrics

pre>intro: g d em7 c G d em7 c G d em7 c As the twilight was returning and the sun began to fall G d em7 c I walked down to the beach front and watched the whitecaps roll G d em c A flare exploded over the ocean. an orange tear G d em c g Then i saw at the corner of my eye the girl at the end of the pier Intro repeat G d em7 c She stood and stared at the brightness, glowing and complete G d em7 c In her crinoline and lacing with the wood beneath her feet G d em c She walked in splinters shedding the salt of a single tear G d em7 Who will fill up the vacuum inside her, C g d em7 c The girl at the end of the pier Bridge Em c em c The toffee apples strewn on the pavement. the candy floss sticks to the tar Em c The organ grinder's monkey's been freed from enslavement Em d He ran beneath the wheels of a family car Intro repeat / bridge repeat G d em7 c Now the funfair is shut down and the coconut shy is gone G d em7 c A carousel spins on regardless and the big wheel creaks and groans G d em c No-one saw her run to the railing and disappear G d em c g d One more drop in an unfeeling ocean, the girl at the end of the pier G d em7 c g One more drop in an unfeeling ocean, the girl at the end of the pier D em7 c g d em7 c g Girl at the end of the pier girl at the end of the pier /pre>
