Eb
Diamonds of silvery rain in the fountains
Abm E
and ten-cent red roses from department store

counters.
Abm E Eb
Watching the moonlight reflect off the river..
Dbm Eb Dbm
beside where the trains cross the bridge and
Eb
slow down.
Abm E Eb
Trains with white letters on black iron sides..
Abm E Eb
and wild rushing water that all rolls away.
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb
And Little Miss Someone does not want to stay.
Abm E Eb
Everyone's moving, with places to go..
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb Abm
and Mr. Zero, he sadly stands still..as the water
E Eb
goes one way, the train goes another..
Dbm Eb
Mr. Zero stands still and Miss Someone don't
Abm Bb Eb
bother.

Yesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow, as

campfires of midnight dissolve in the darkness.

The room is deserted, the blinds have been drawn,

Little Miss Someone has packed up and gone.

Abm E Eb
Fast moving cars disappear down the highway,
Abm E Eb
with signs that say, hitch-hikers..do not disturb..
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb
Mr. Zero looks quietly up from the curb.
Abm E Eb
Morning has faded, and shadows have grown, and Little
Dbm Eb
Miss Someone is on her way home.
Abm E Eb
Mr. Zero stands watching, her plane flies above,
Dbm Eb Abm Bb
and with frost-bitten hands waves goodbye to his love.
#3.
Eb
Walks through the park on a bright summer Sunday
Abm E Eb
and tapestry kittens are hung on the wall.
Abm E Eb
They all die in the air like a soft minor chord,
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb
a vacancy sign, and a bulletin board.
Abm E Eb
Mr. Zero is wrapping his jacket around him,
Abm E Eb
speaking kind words that should have been said long ago..
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb
but Little Miss Someone does not want to know.
Abm E Eb
The night is deserted, there's dust on the shelf,
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb
Mr. Zero sits lonely and talks to himself.
Abm E Eb
It's too late to change, the fine line has been crossed..
Dbm Eb Abm Ab Gb Abm
the charades are all done, Mr Zero has lost.
