Verse 1:
Dm C G Bb C | Dm F | G Bb C |
In a white room with black curtains near the station
Dm C G Bb C | Dm F | G Bb C |
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Dm C G Bb C | Dm F | G Bb C |
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dm C G Bb C | Dm F | G Bb |
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment
Middle 8:
C G Bb A
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |
C G Bb C | D | D D |
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves (break)
Verse 2:
Dm C G Bb C | Dm F | G Bb C |
You said no strings could secure you at the station
Dm C G Bb C | Dm F | G Bb C |
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
Dm C G Bb C | Dm F | G Bb C |
I walked into such a sad time at the station
Dm C G Bb C | Dm F | G Bb |
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning
Middle 8:
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
Interlude: time signature: 5/4
| Gm | F | Dm | C |

Verse 3:
Dm C G Bb C | Dm F | G Bb C |
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Dm C G Bb C | Dm F | G Bb C |
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Dm C G Bb C | Dm F | G Bb C |
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
Dm C G Bb C | Dm F | G Bb |
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings
Middle 8:
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
Interlude: time signature: 5/4
