[Verse 1]
Blue morning b
lue morning
wrapped in str
ands of fist a
nd bone
Curiosity, kit
ten,
Doesn't have t
o mean you're
on your own
You can look o
utside your wi
ndow
He doesn't hav
e to know
We can talk aw
hile, baby
We can take it
nice and slow
[Chorus]
All your life
is such a sham
e, shame, sham
e
All your love
is just a drea
m, dream, drea
m
[Verse 2]
Are you happy

Does he keep y

Does he tell y

sorry?
Does he tell y

wrong?
I've been watc
hing you for h
ours
It's been year
s since we wer
e born
We were perfec

I've been wond
ering where we
've gone
[Chorus]
All your life
is such a sham

All your love
is just a drea

[Verse 3]
I dreamt I saw
you walking
up a hillside
in the snow
Casting shadow
s on the winte
r sky
as you stood t
here counting
crows
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for girl
s and four for
boys
Five for silve
r, Six for gol
d and
Seven for a se
cret never to
be told
There's a bird
that nests in
side you
Sleeping under
neath your ski
n
When you open
up your wings
to speak
I wish you'd l
et me in
[Chorus]
All your life
is such a sham
e, shame, sham
e
All your love
is just a drea
m, dream, drea
m
[Bridge]
Open up your e
yes
You can see th
e flames, flam
es flames
of your wasted
life
You should be
ashamed
N.C.
You don't want to waste your life, now baby
N.C.
You don't want to waste your life, now darlin'
(repeat 3x)
[Outro]
Change, change

I walk along t
hese hillsides
In the summer
'neath the su
nshine
I am feathered
by the moonli
ght falling do
wn on me
(repeat 3x)
Change, change
, change
(repeat 3x)
