Introduction:
D5 C2 G A#5 C5 D5 C2 G
In the white room, with black curtains, near the station.
A#5 C5 D5 C2 G A#5 C5 D5 C2 G
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
A#5 C5 D5 C2 G A#5 C5 D5 C2 G
Silver horses, ran down moonbeams, in your dark eyes.
A#5 C5 D5 C2 G A#5 C5 D5 C2 G A#5 C5
Dawn light smiles, on you leaving, my contentment.
C G A# A
I' ll wait in this place where the sun never shines
C G A# C D
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.
D5 C2 G A#5 C5 D5 C2 G
You said no strings, could secure you, at the station.
A#5 C5 D5 C2 G A#5 C5 D5 C2 G
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
A#5 C5 D5 C2 G A#5 C5 D5 C2 G
I walked into, such a sad time, at the station.
A#5 C5 D5 C2 G A#5 C5 D5 C2 G A#5 C5
As I walked out, felt my own need, just beginning.
C G A# A
I' ll wait in the queue when the trains come by
C G A# C D
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.
D5 C2 G A#5 C5 D5 C2 G
At the party, she was kindness, in the hard crowd.
A#5 C5 D5 C2 G A#5 C5 D5 C2 G
Consolation, for the old wound, now forgotten.
A#5 C5 D5 C2 G A#5 C5 D5 C2 G
Yellow tigers, crouched in jungles, in her dark eyes.
A#5 C5 D5 C2 G A#5 C5 D5 C2 G A#5 C5
She' s just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.
C G A# A
I' ll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
C G A# C D
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.
