Now boy decides he cannot walk

Boy decides to take the train

And sing and swing his arms softly
           Am
Watch himself in the windowpane
        F
And he says "This is necessary
        C
And though she said I should not run again
F
I just could not live under the same roof as him."


     Am                            C
"And in the desert I deserve some sleep
                F                        Am
And I need recourse for the course I am taking."

And we just got word from your mother
              C

It's just she loves her man

But what's the problem?
F                                     Am
Yeah, he's been burnin' your blankets all this time

C
Cause she's in love with an animal
F
Nothing to hold in his arms

They both became mechanical

F                      Am
Only the girl in the airplane he'd

Read about when he was small

            F                                   Am
He'll say "How I have been waving to get your attention all this time."
         C
And he will not see a river for another thousand miles
          F

The place where you are lying
        F                              C
But the raw pink sky is clear, and she turns his head
                  F
And said, "Is it a jet propeller I hear?"
          Am                     F
And she says "Boy, am I glad to see you."
                                   C
And boy decides to hold her hand with the hands held by
     F
The new arms that she had brought and given him

Chorus:
Am                      F
Only the girl in the airplane he'd

Read about when he was small
C
Could save him

Be the friend he needed all along
    Am
And he'd love her, he'd love her

In the desert, there's a plant with its arms raisin' high
              F
