Key: C
Introduction:
C G Am E
It was in the rainy season - waiting for the train
Am D Bm E
Leaving in the afternoon - all on your own again.
D Am D Am
Do you really understand it? Can you tell me why it is this way?
G F C Am D
Sad lady at her portmanteau with no words left to say,
F C Am D F
Saving that it's only something that can happen any day.
C G Am E
Too loose, circus rider, turn on your childish grin,
Am D Bm E
Shine on through the long black night, go ride the dawn again.
D Am D Am
Your eyes are stars that sweetly twinkle, aureole around your head aflame.
G F C Am D
Sad story that you cannot tell, where no one is to blame.
F C Am D F
And anyhow its only something sure to come down with the rain.
G F C G Am
Would I could hear your song so clear, the words could touch the air,
C Am D F
And catch the moon's reflection in the colour of her hair.
C Am C G Am
To ease this ache of loneliness and blind the vicious stare.
C G Am E
Even now I do remember one thing more that is not told,
Am D Bm E
Just a slightly twisted crystal heart to keep you from the cold.
D Am D Am
All up the coast along the highway nobody there will know your name.
G F C Am D
So strange how things should work out now, yet still remain the same.
F C Am D F
And even so you know there's nothing that can ever really change...
