Bm7     D        A         G9
Red sun, go down way over dirty town
Bm7             D             A 
Starlings are sweeping around 
      E9
crazy shoals
Bm7         D               
Yes, and a girl is there, high 
    A                          G9
heeling across the square
Bm7                 D        
The wind it blows around in her 
                  A              E9
hair, and the flags upon the poles
Em9
Waiting in the crowd to cross at the
 light
                     G     F#m7   
She looks around to find a face 
       Bm7   F#m7   Bm7   F#   C9
she can like.
Bm7          D           A      
Church bell, clinging on, trying
                  G9
 to get a crowd, Evensong

Bm7                D        A   
Nobody cares to depend upon, the
           E9
 chime it plays
Bm7                        D     
They're all in the station, 
              A        
praying for trains, the 
           G9
congregation's, late again
Bm7                 D             
It's getting darker, all the time,
A                E9
 these flagpole days
Em9
Drunk old soldier he gives her a 
fright
                 G      F#m7   
He's crazy lion howling for a 
Bm7   F#m7   Bm7   F#   C9
fight.
Bm7           D               A 
Strap hanging, gunshot sound, 
                   G9
door slamming on the, overground
Bm7                D          
The starlings are tough, but the 
    A                 E9
lions are made of stone
Bm7                   D          
Her evening paper is horror torn,
A                          
 but there's hope later for, 
     G9
capricorns
Bm7                       D
Her lucky stars give her just 
           A              E9
enough, ... to get her home
Em9
Then she's reading about a swing to 
the right
                              G    
But she's thinking about a stranger
 F#m7   Bm7   F#m7   Bm7   F#   C9
 in the night
G                       A    G  
I'm thinking about the lions, 
                      A
I'm thinking about the lions
G                     A       
A   fade out
Bm7   F#m7    Bm7   F#m7    Bm7

   F#m7    Bm7
