The Impossible Moved In

V6

[Intro - two bars, bright pizzicato synth] [Verse 1] There's a city in a biscuit tin A little train that never ran A notebook full of someday things Too many worlds for just two hands I ask the engine for a wheel It gives me six; I choose the odd By Saturday the roofs are real The kitchen table plays a song [Pre-Chorus] A thousand doors inside a box I bring the crooked little key It does the heavy turning The where and why belong to me [Chorus] I made a little room And the impossible moved in Hung its coat beside the broom Said, shall we begin? More than another thing to do More of the day to wander through I made a little room And the impossible moved in [Verse 2] The little game has learned to fly My old idea has found its feet The AI does the tangled sums I try the wings and mend the seams Then shut the lid at half past five There's still a piece of afternoon We take the long way down the hill And buy a ridiculous balloon [Chorus] I made a little room And the impossible moved in Hung its coat beside the broom Said, shall we begin? More than another thing to do More of the day to wander through I made a little room And the impossible moved in [Bridge - walking bass, soft handclaps] Keep the silly paper whale Give the little thing a name If the first one sinks, we'll make A stranger one again [Final Chorus - lift, close vocal harmonies] I made a little room And the impossible moved in Hung its coat beside the broom Said, shall we begin? More than another thing to do More of my life to spend with you I made a little room And the impossible moved in [Outro - four bars, resolved final chord] Shoes by the door Room for one more [End]
