Finestere 
By: The Lilac Time 

A                                                       D 
Come and watch the sunset with me from Finistère 
A                                                       D 
A sentimental moment with me, that we can share 
Bm                                   A          E7    D 
Forget the faces of forgotten children, Oh, how they cried 
Bm                                   A          E7    D 
They cannot forgive forgetful Fathers, Oh, how they lied 
                            A 
And now they try to run away 

A                                                       D 
You listen to your Walkman, on the back seat of the bus 
A                                                       D 
You feel yourself evaporate, In un-selfconciousness 
Bm                                           A         E7            D 
The wounded animal sat by the roadside, Oh, "how" he cried 
Bm                                             A          E7    D 
Did the peaceful pastures become minefields, Oh, "woe" he cried 
                              A 
For now he cannot run away 

Dm         A7                 C                          Dm 
Oh, run away, From the half digested bitterness you feel 
Dm         A7                 C                          Dm 
Oh, "how can you stay? Says the unexpected innocence you keep 
              C                          Dm 
And how long does that innocence keep 
F                               G 
You from drying up, drying out 

A                                                                   D 
The days when I was bullet proof and nightly full of holes 
A                                                       D 
Is deep and strong as cellophane in a galaxy of souls 
Bm                                      A          E7    D 
The father to so many needs a mother, Oh, how she cried 
Bm                                      A         E7    D 
Does the Father's Mother need a lover, Oh, "yes, please!" she cried 
D                        A (E7/D)   A 
I know I'll never run away, Finistère 
D                   A (E7/D)   A 
I can't run no more, Finistère 
D                   A 
I can't run no more    (fade..)
