         Dm         F            
    In a white room   with black 
G       Bb C        Dm      F  G
curtains   near the station.
    Bb C          Dm     F      
       Black roof country   no 
    G        Bb C     Dm        F  G
gold pavements   tired starlings.
    Bb C      Dm     F          
       Silver horses   run-down 
G         Bb C       Dm         F  G
moon-beams   in your dark eyes.
    Bb C          Dm     F       
       Dawn light smiles   on 
  G      Bb C      Dm       F  G
your leaving   my contentment.
         C               G    
    I'll wait----in this place, 
            Bb        A
where the sun never shines.
    C              G              
    Wait---in this place, where 
  Bb       C             D
the shadows, run, from themselves.
             Dm         F     
    You said no strings   could 
    G       Bb C      Dm      F  G
secure you   at the station.

 G      Bb C       Dm        F  G
 diesels   goodbye windows.
    Bb C        Dm   F        G
       I walked into   such a 
       Bb C      Dm        F  G
sad time   at the station.
    Bb C    Dm         F         
       As I walked out   felt my 
G       Bb C      Dm        F  G
own need   just beginning.
         C              G         
    I'll wait----in the queue, 
      Bb           A
when the trains, come back.
    C           G            
    Lie----with you, where the 
  Bb       C             D
shadows, run, from themselves.

    At the party   she was 
 Bb C      Dm         F  G
kindness   in the hard crowd.
    Bb C    Dm     F          G
       Consolation   from the 
        Bb C     Dm        F  G
old wound   now forgotten.
    Bb C      Dm     F           
       Yellow tigers   crouched 
  G      Bb C      Dm        F  G
in jungles   in her dark eyes.
    Bb C          Dm       F    
       She's just dressing   
     G      Bb C     Dm        F  G
goodbye windows   tired starlings.
         C                G    
    I'll sleep----in this place, 
           Bb     A
with the lonely crowd.
    C            G               
    Lie---in the dark, where the 
Bb       C             D
shadows, run, from themselves.
