1. In a white room     with black curtains     near the stations.

                      Am     C               D               F           Am         -C-D-F

    Blackroof country,    no gold pavements,    tired starlings.

               Am     C                    D               F              Am           -C-D-F

    Silver horses    run down moonbeams     in your dark eyes.

                       Am    C                D        F              Am          -C-D-F

    Dawnlight smiles      on your leaving,    my contentment.

          G                D                       F                E

    I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines.

     G                 D                         F          G                     A     

    Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

 

                   Am           C                 D           F              Am       - C-D-F

2. You said no strings     could secure you       at the stations.

                 Am      C                 D         F                 Am          - C-D-F

    Platform ticket,      restless diesels,      goodbye windows.

                 Am   C               D           F              Am       - C-D-F

    I walked into      such a sad time       at the station.

            Am            C              D             F             Am       - C-D-F

    As I walked out     felt my own need      just beginning.

         G                  D                     F                  E

    I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back,

    G               D                       F           G                    A

    I'll wait for you where the shadows run from themselves. + CHORUS

 

              Am    C                 D           F             Am              - C-D-F

3. At the party     she was kindness     in the hard crowd.

             Am      F                D               F              Am       - C-D-F

    Consolation     from the old wound     now forgotten.

              Am      C                      D         F             Am           - C-D-F

    Yellow tigers     crouched in jungles      in her dark eyes.

                      Am        C                   D           F           Am         - C-D-F

    She's just dressing      goodbye windows,      tired starlings.

           G                 D                   F          E

    I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd,

   G             D                        F           G                    A

   lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves. + CHORUS
