Corin the Piper
A Song Lyric
by Sheila King
C Em7 Am Dm Dmaj7 G
* Corin the Piper lives here no more
Em Am D G
He and his mother left when he was four
C Em7 Am Dm G
Some day there'll be music, same as before
Em Am
But it won't be easy for Corin
C G7 C
lives here no more
C Em7 Am Dm G
1. I sit here at the window, watchin' the children play
Em Am D G
They don't know I'm even here, but they come here every day.
C Em7 Am Dm G
Sometimes the tears start fallin', and I wonder what they're for
Em Am C G7 C
Until I remember, Corin lives here no more
2. He filled my days with laughter, sunshine and song,
And Corin, the drummer, was seldom ever wrong.
Sometimes I hear him singing, and my heart starts to soar.
And then I remember, Corin lives here no more.
3. In the evenings I would watch him, walk up the path alone.
His head bowed and weary from a day gone on too long.
And I know that he is sleeping; till I see him once more
But I can't forget that Corin, lives here no more.
