Se[D]bastian arrived in a [D9/C-bass]cardboard suitcase [G/B-bass]sealed with a kiss from his [Gm7/Bb-bass]mom,
With a [D/V-pos]newspaper under his [G#dim]arm and over his [A7sus]head. [A7]
A[Em]lone in the hall with his [G/add-D]back to the wall
You could [D]see he was [D/C#bass]one of a fe[D/C-bass]w, [B7]
He [Em]spoke only when spoken [A]to and sometimes [G6/add-D]alone in his [D]bed.
{:Chorus:}
[D/V-pos]Sing sw[Dmaj7]eet Seba[Em11]stian,
[A7/C#bass]Sing the sw[G]eetest song,[D]
[D/V-pos]Sing so [Dmaj7]sweet that [Em11]while you sleep
Yo[/C#bass]ur melody [-bass]lingers on.[]
[]Oh.[] [] []
Sebastian is led to a black-walled romm, red carpeting covers the floor,
And someone is closing the door, and rasing the blind.
Hiding his eyes so they won t look surprised
When the hand reaches down for the note,
The one that his mother wrote and tied by a string to his neck.
{:Chorus.}
Waiting for the sunrise and the rest of his life to begin,
Sebastian is wearing a grin under his nose.
And out on the grass he can hear it at last
The rush of a bird to its home,
And then while unpacking a comb he thinks of a song that he knows.
{:Chorus.}
