      Em         C/G   Em
It was so late and she'd be sleeping
           D/F#
He came through her home town
              C/G
With the moonlight on the crossroads
               G  C/G G
And the green light shining down
     Em          C/G   Em
And the bell at the railroad crossing
          D/F#
And the horn from far away
           C/G
And his Silver Eagle passing
              (G)
Half a mile from where she lay

    Em      C/G  Em
At his feet a sea of faces
              D/F#
Make devotions with their love
                 C/G  CMaj7/G C/G
Clap their hands and plead their cases
             G
Call for blessings from above
         Em      C/G   Em
Like the rolling waves forever massing
               D/F#
To crash and foam and creep away
          C/G
And the Silver Eagle passing
            (G)
Half a mile from where she lay

       Em      C/G    Em
Road signs flow into the headlights
            D/F#
Whisper names and fall behind
              C/G   CMaj7/G
He finds some honor in the darkness
               G
Hopes for grace and peace of mind
         Em        C/G  Em
And he thinks of how they'd lay together
                 D/F#
He'd run his fingers through her hair
             C/G
And he wonders if she'll ever
             (G)
Come to know that he was there
