This town, this stain on the sunrise
Bm7
Disguised in the mist this morning
Esus4 E AMaj7 G#m7add11 C#7
It's 8AM, a seagull shouts a sailor's warning
This sky, this bend in the river
Bm7 Esus4 E
Slows down and delivers me, the tide rolls back
AMaj7 G#m7add11 C#7
And all my memories fade to black
Bm7 E5 F#mMaj7 F#m6 F#mMaj7 F#m6
And yet, and yet I'm back
Wondering how in the Hell did ye end up here?
Bm7add11 Esus4
It's like an underground river, or a hidden stream
Ebm7b5 D7
That flows through your head, and haunts your dreams
Bm7add11 Esus4
And you stuffed those dreams in this canvas sack
AMaj7 G#m7add11 C#7
And there's nothing round here that the wide world lacks
Bm7 E5 F#mMaj7 F#m6 F#mMaj7 F#m6
And yet, and yet you're back
Those constellations hanging up there from the cables and the rigging
Bm7add11 Esus4 Ebm7b5 D7
I'd wonder if she saw the same, or managed to recall my name
Bm7add11 Esus4 AMaj7 G#m7add11 C#7
But why would she ever think of me? Some boy she loved who fled to sea?
Bm7add11 C#m7 DMaj7 G#m7add11 C#m7 C#7
And why waste time debating whether she'd be waiting for the likes of me?
| F#mMaj7 F#m6 | x4
To the dance halls and the brothels where you took your ease!
F#m6
And the ship's left the dock but you're half past caring
F#m6
And ye haven't got a clue whose bed you're sharing
Bm7add11 Esus4
And your head's like a hammer on a bulkhead door
Ebm7b5 D7
And it feels like somebody might have broken your jaw
Bm7add11 Esus4
And there's bloodstains and glass all over the floor
AMaj7 G#m7add11 C#7
And ye swear to God ye'll drink no more
Bm7add11 Esus4 G#m7add11 C#m7 C#7
And yet, and yet
In truth, it's too late to find her
Bm7add11 Esus4 E
Too late to remind her at some garden gate
Ebm7b5 D7
Where a servant tells me I should wait
Bm7add11 Esus4 E
And perhaps a door's slammed in my face
AMaj7 G#m7add11 C#7
My head must be in outer space
Bm7add11 Esus4
And yet, and yet
Ebm7b5 D7
Before the sun has set
Bm7add11 C#m7
Before the sea
DMaj7 Bm7 G#m7add11
There may be something else that's waiting for
C#m7 C#7 F#mMaj7 F#m6 F#mMaj7 F#m6
The likes of me
