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