Picking up scales and broken chords
Puppy dog tails in the house of lords
Tell me darling, what can it mean?

Making up moons in a minor key
What have those tunes got to do with me?
Tell me darling, where have you been?

Once upon along ago
Children searched for treasure
Nature's plan went hand in hand with pleasure
Such pleasure.

Blowing balloons on a windy day
Desolate dunes with a lot to say
Tell me darling, what have you seen?

Once upon along ago
Children searched for treasure
Nature's plan went hand in hand with pleasure
My pleasure.

Playing guitars on an empty stage 
Counting the bars of an iron cage 
Tell me darling, what can it mean?

Picking up scales and broken chords 
Puppy dog tails in the house of lords 
Tell me darling, what can it mean?

Once upon along ago.
