There's a

haze on the skyline to wish me on my way





and there's a note on the telephone



           C    D(IA)

some roses on a tray



                   C           D

And the motorway's stretching



Em    D         Em   D

right out to us all



                C

as I pull on my old wings



D   Em    D            Em

Isn't it just to damn real?



                       D      Am

One White Duck on your wall



                 D     Am

one duck on your wall



G



I'll catch a

ride on your violin strung up on your bow

and I'll float on your melody

sing your chorus soft and low

There's a picture-view postcard to say that I called

You can see from the fireplace

One White Duck on your wall

Isn't it just too damn real?

One White Duck on your wall

                 D     Em

One duck on your wall

and I'm probably bound to deceive you after all.





Something must be wrong with me and my brain

if I'm so painfully unrewarding

But my dreams are for dreaming and best left that way

and my zero to your power often equals nothing at all.



Double lock defense, there's no chain on my door

and I'm available for consultation

But remember your way in is also my way out,

and love's four letter word is no compensation



Black Ace dog handler I'm a waiter on skates

so don't you jump to your foresking conclusion

Cause I'm up to my deaf ears in cold breakfast trays

to be cleared before I can dine on your sweet

Sunday lunch confusion.
