VERSE 1
********
G         D
Minutes seem like hours
  C          D
And hours they seem like days
     G         D
When the ones you want are missing
      C          D
And they`ve gone their separate ways
C      G      Em       D
Walking in a sunny garden empty like the moon
  C           G
And birds that once could fly so high
  Em        D
Now sing a different tune


-----------------------------------------------------
VERSE 2
********
G       D
Walking in the park
        C        D
The leaves are turning now it`s fall
  G         D
The time has come for leaving
     C         D
In their eyes that says it all
C        G
Pictures on the mantle
     Em       D
Tell the tales of better times
C       G       Em
Moments from a long long time ago
         D
When things were fine


-----------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
D    G
One fine day
     C     D
When the wild birds return
   D       Em
We`ll look back and say
    C          D
What a lesson in life I`ve learned


-----------------------------------------------------
VERSE 3
********
  G         D
So light a broad wick candle
    C       D
In the window make it bright
  G         D
You need to find your way home
    C        D
In the dark and deepest nights
  C         G
And if you`re lost and homeless
    Em     D
In some lonely city zone
   C        G
Just follow back that winding road
   Em        D
That leads you back on home
