We drove until the car ran out of petrol

WE DROVE UNTIL THE CAR RAN OUT OF PETROL (D A D F# B E, capo 3)

We drove until the car ran out of petrol. Rolled to a gentle stop under the shade of a tall old tree. Sunlight through the leaves. We took off our shirts and walked along the grass. Following the sound of water trickling down a hill and somehow found a stream. And angels danced along the surface singing our favourite songs; the ones we’d never heard of. We jumped in, dove down deep, and held our breath for eternity. And forgot about the car. It’s probably still there.
