The sounds of the night keep me warm

I'm living a city life - I'm living maybe

But tonight there's no reason to be strong

My my all at such an early age

An old man sheds a tear
                   F           G
He opens a little gold locket
C                  G                      F             G
He thought his little girl was lost in an Indian raid

Somewhere in these night lights lies the answer
C               G                F      G
And you can get diamonds by the yard
C            G               F         G
A tiffany dream - A porcelain dancer
C      G                        F         G
An old man (/Olivier!) playing blues guitar


Chorus:
C      G      F      G
Midnight I surrender
C         G             F           G
I live beneath your ancient spell
C             G                        F         G
You've been my lover since I can't remember
C           G                      F            G
You save my life with the stories you tell
