From Halcyon

C       B/C       Am      G       F       C       C

[Verse 1]

           C             B/C          Am        G
I finished writing this song in the summer
         F                        C
Now I'm watching the snow flakes fall
        C        B/C    Am      G
As the years go by I wonder if I
        F               G
Really like it here at all
   C                     C7
I woke this morning in a strange town
     F                         Dm
The truth is I thought I'd be dead by now
          C           B/C               Am      G
I guess I'll keep on going till they find me out
     F       G       C
With love from Halcyon

[Verse 2]

         C       B/C       Am       G
And I'm glad I stayed out drinking
         F               C
Put some medicine in my mind
   C           B/C        Am        G
To distract me from this grain of sand
       F                       G
In the middle of space and of time
     C                  C7
This morning my head is losing the war
      F                  Dm
It's cold outside as I walk out the door
     C         B/C               Am         G
And I get the feeling this has happened before
     F     G     C
With love from Halcyon

[Chorus]

          F            C
And I can feel myself disappearing
       Am     G      F
In the early morning sun
      Am             G        F
And I fade with the road I'm walking on
      Am       G      C
With love from Halcyon

[Verse 3]

          C             B/C     Am        G
As the morning breaks over Southampton
         F                        C
I'm wondering how long and how far
        C        B/C    Am      G
Still thinking about that old friend
       F                       G
As the waitress trips on my guitar
     C                  C7
See he stopped singing songs and he moved away
               F                  Dm
Heard he's picking apples down near Rattlesnake bay
         C         B/C           Am       G
I can picture him now singing "Lowlands away"
     F     G     C
With love from Halcyon

     C       B/C   Am        G
I remember early evening
            F             C
First time summer showed her face
     C     B/C        Am        G
We sat outside with a GB and wine
       F                       G
Talking about the good old days
          C                   C7
When we woke up in Paris all covered in dust
         F                        Dm
And the man on the boat pulled a knife on us
     C         B/C      Am         G
If time is money then money isn't much
      F       G      C
With love from Halcyon

[Chorus]

          F         C
And I can feel us disappearing
       Am     G      F
In the early morning sun
      Am          G        F      C
For we were just dead men walking
      Am       G      C
With love from Halcyon

       C         B/C             Am        G
Well many years gone I've been travelling on
         F                        C
Searching across this land
        C        B/C              Am         G
Now I don't know what I've been looking for yet
       F                       G
Hope someday I'll understand
            C                     C7
I'm just a copy of a copy my own version of time,
      F                          Dm
I'll never see yours and you'll never see mine
              C             B/C         Am           G
But we still see the same sunsets and walk the same lines
      F       G      C
With love from Halcyon

           C             B/C      Am        G
Started writing this song in the winter,
         F                        C
Now I'm watching the spring blossom fall
        C        B/C                    Am           G
Tell me how can the difference between hours and years
          F                   G
Feel so endless and yet so small
     C                  C7
I left that house about 4 this morning
      F                      Dm
And I got a feeling they'll carry on going
            C              B/C               Am          G
Till the cigarettes freeze over and the whisky stops flowing
            F                 G
They'll be singing "Lowlands away"

        F              G
And if Halcyon is the days gone by
     C         B           Am
And she is the one that I love
        F                         G
And if now is the place that I'm supposed to be
        Am     G    F
Then it isn't long enough

      F                     G
For someday soon I'll be a photograph
       C       B/C        Am
Underneath my grandson's bed
     Dm
But I heard there's
   G
A universe somewhere
            C
Where this song
        B/C
Wasn't written
Am      G
Yet

[Chorus]

          F            C
So if you feel yourself disappearing
       Am     G      F
In the early morning sun
      Am             G        F
Just smile and keep on walking
      Am       G      C
With love from Halcyon
      Am       G        C
With love from Halzephron
