Am 
G 
Dawn he's in a postcard of the dawn,
Am 
Where the knives of light
G 
have left the dark night tattered & torn
Dm 
The firmamental cars
F 
Dm 
on the highway of the stars
C 
are doing ninety
G 
(for your love) - He's in
Am 
a corner on the right,
F 
E 
the sole survivor of the night -
Eb

And you, you only think of him,

They're closing all the doors

Dm 
Running form the snapping jaws,
C 
You knows he ain't got
G 
time to pause
Am 
- there's one last door
between him & you
F 
- look out babe,
he'll be coming through
E 
(as soon as you admit that
Am 
you're the cause).
Gone, with a squad of
G 
crooked creatures -
Am 
You saw a film of his escape
G 
But you hardly recognized his features.
Dm 
His seer's sight had lied
Am 
about the other side
G 
C 
No one was waiting when
Am 
G 
you arrived.

You dared not hesitate - even so,
E 
you got there late -
