Verse 1:

N.C.
You know, sometimes
N.C.
When we're lying together
N.C.
And I know you're asleep
N.C.
I can hear the soft sound of your breathing

  So I get up

N.C.
And I go to the window
N.C.
Outside, I can see all the houses
N.C.
Curtains shut tight against the night
N.C.
Asleep beneath the roof-tiles
N.C.
And as I stand here, I wonder
N.C.
I wonder how many more times I'm gonna come here
N.C.
I wonder how many more times I'm gonna lie here
N.C.
And most of all, most of all I wonder
