All the birs have flown from the uptown
                                 Am
And a family I know has built an ark
                           Dm  
It's been raining long in a steady flow
Em                                   Am

The sadness of a long dead star on late night TV
Em                                  Am
The sadness of shooting away your bloom
                                 Dm            Em
And of old crumpled men in their workday suits
                                 Am
And telephones ringing in empty rooms
