In a white room    with black curtains
Sib  Do  Rem      Fa  Sol  Sib  Do
near the stations
          Rem     Do         Sim
Blackroof country,   no gold pavements,
Sib Do Rem      Fa  Sol  Sib  Do
tired starlings,
       Rem    Do         Sim
Silver horses   run down moonbeams
Sib  Do Rem      Fa  Sol  Sib  Do
in your dark eyes.
          Rem    Do        Sim
Dawnlight smiles   on your leaving,
Sib Do Rem       Fa  Sol
my contentment.

     Do           Sol             Sib        La
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines.
Do           Sol             Sib     Do          Re
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

You said no strings   could secure you
Sib  Do  Rem      Fa  Sol  Sib  Do
at the stations.
         Rem     Do         Sim
Platform ticket,   restless diesels,
Sib  Do  Rem      Fa  Sol  Sib  Do
goodbye windows.
         Rem  Do       Sim
I walked into   such a sad time
Sib  Do  Rem      Fa  Sol  Sib  Do
at the station.
            Rem Do        Sim
As I walked out   felt my own need
Sib  Do  Rem      Fa  Sol
just beginning.

     Do          Sol            Sib         La
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Do            Sol           Sib     Do           Re
I'll wait for you where the shadows run from themselves

At the party   she was kindness
Sib  Do  Rem      Fa  Sol  Sib  Do
in the hard crowd
     Rem    Do         Sim
Consolation   from the old wound
Sib  Do  Rem      Fa  Sol  Sib  Do
now forgotten
       Rem    Do            Sim
Yellow tigers   crouched in jungles
Sib Do Rem        Fa  Sol  Sib  Do
in her dark eyes
           Rem      Do        Sim
She's just dressing   goodbye windows,
Sib Do Rem        Fa  Sol
tired starlings

     Do            Sol            Sib    La
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd,
Do         Sol            Sib     Do           Re
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
