Lyrics and music by David Bowie
INTRO: A7 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4
A7 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4
Bm Em A
D F#m
I recall how we lived
Am Am7
On the corner of a bed
C G
And we'd speak of a Swedish room
Eb
Of hessian and wood
D F#m
And we'd talk with our eyes
Am Am7
Of the sweetness in our lives
C G
And tomorrows of rich surprise
Eb F A
Some things we could do
C
In our madness we burnt one hundred days
Time takes time to pass
Eb
And I still hold some ashes to me
F
An occasional dream
BREAK: A7 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4
Bm Em A
D F#m
And we'd sleep, oh so close
Am Am7
But not really close our eyes
C G
'Tween the sheets of summer bathed in blue
Eb
Gently weeping nights
D F#m
It was long, long ago
Am Am7
And I still can't touch your name
C G
For the days of fate were strong for you
Eb F A
Danced you far from me
C
In my madness I see your face in mine
I keep a photograph, it burns my wall with time
Eb F
Time an occasional dream
Eb F
Of mine an occasional dream
Ab Bb A Dm C G Bb A7
Of mine an occasional dream of mine
