Two Ragged Soldiers
(Engel)
C(add9)
They spoke transparent phrases to looking glass women
Ebmaj7 Dm(add9) Abmaj7
And they took the detours that scattered the way
C(add9) Bbmaj7
They departed from summer like two ragged soldiers
Gbm7 Dm(add9) Dm6 Dm7 G7(b5) G7
Dragging their heels through their fantasies
C(add9)
There were meals in the missions for two frozen statues
Ebmaj7 Dm(add9) Abmaj7
And long draughty sermons devouring their knees
C(add9) Bbmaj7
Sometimes passions in winter turn to cold soundless moments
Gbm7 Dm(add9) Dm6 Dm7 G7(b5) G7
That teared in the eyes of their fantasies
C(add9)
There were nights on park benches, stale bread for the pigeons
Ebmaj7 Dm(add9) Abmaj7
Good mornings to faces who just turned away
C(add9) Bbmaj7
And on one road confusion, the other desire
Gbm7 Dm(add9) Dm6 Dm7 G7(b5) G7
So they took to the road of their fantasies
C(add9)
One would speak of a lake where he used to go swimming
Ebmaj7 Dm(add9) Abmaj7
The other had no memories left for his mind
C(add9) Bbmaj7
With their arms round each other, the two ragged soldiers
Gbm7 Dm(add9) Dm6 Dm7 G7(b5) G7
Laughed through a war that they couldn't see
C Bbmaj7
Laughed for a world filled with fantasy
