|Am        |

      |Dm        Dm/C          |Dm/B     Bb  C       |       
In the white room    with black curtains     near the 

|Dm        F           |G           Bb    C        |   
 station.                                 Blackroof

|Dm        Dm/C          |Dm/B       Bb   C     |       
 country,         no gold pavements,      tired 

|Dm         F          |G           Bb    C       |   
 starlings.                               Silver

|Dm      Dm/C       |Dm/B       Bb   C      |       
 horses     ran down moonbeams       in your 
 
|Dm         F          |G           Bb    C        | 
 dark eyes                                Dawnlight

|Dm      Dm/C       |Dm/B       Bb   C     |       
 smiles       on you leaving,       my con-

 tentment.

    |C             |G                |Bb         |A           |
I'll wait   in this place   where the sun   never shines;
C              G                 Bb      C        D           D
Wait   in this place   where the shadows run from themselves.

         Dm           Dm/C      Dm/B     Bb C     
You said no strings     could secure you    at the 
|Dm         F          |G           Bb    C       |   
 station.                                   Platform        
                                          
|Dm      Dm/C        |Dm/B     Bb C      |       
 ticket,     restless diesels,    goodbye 

|Dm         F          |G           Bb    C       |   
 windows.                                 I walked

|Dm       Dm/C     |Dm/B       Bb C     |       
 into        such a sad time     at the 
 
|Dm         F          |G           Bb    C   |   
station.                                  As I

|Dm        Dm/C        |Dm/B      Bb C      |         
 walked out,    felt my own need     just be

|Dm         F          |G           Bb    C    |   
 ginning.
------------------------------------------------------
     C              G                 Bb             A
I'll wait    in the queue    when the trains    come back;
C              G                Bb      A          D
Lie    wi - th you    where the shadows run   from themselves.

At the party    she was kindness    in the hard crowd.
Conso-lation    for the old wound    now forgotten.
Yellow tigers     crouched in jungles     in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing,    goodbye windows,     tired starlings.

     C              G                Bb          A
I'll sleep  in this place   with the lone  -  ly crowd;
   Lie       in the dark    where the sha - dows run  from them-
