Intro

(play root note, then strum)

I was born in nineteen eighty-nine

 All we could do

No shakes or coughs or burst relief

 Or lists of all our things

 Just minutes making minds

I was born in nineteen eighty-nine

 All we could do

But the makers never made

 The comers never came

 But I still felt that awful news

 It was patience that we had

 And the miles we had left

 That held us there until we could let go

I was born in nineteen eighty-nine

 And it'll be over soon

No moon children or people's sun

 Or ringing in my ears

 When I still felt that awful news

 It was patience that we had

 And the miles we had left

 That held us there until we could let go

 It was patience that we had

 And the miles we had left

 That held us there until we could let go

I was born in nineteen eighty-nine

 All we could do

Not in birth or body

But only in our minds

Not in birth or body

I still felt that awful news

 It was patience that we had

 And the miles we had left

 That held us there until we could let go

 It was patience that we had

 And the miles we had left

 That held us there until we could let go
