D MajorD
Where the steeples and the skyways meet
Through the lonely and deserted streets

To the girl with the secret smile

Wherever I roam

Praying for the bright headlights coming over the hill
I’ll never go away again I swear

I hope you’re not asleep when I get there
A augmentedA D MajorD
I’m a night owl waiting for you

And wish on one to get me there faster
