Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
In a foreign (D major) city (Dsus4) (D major) once again
You waved (G major) weekly (D major) in the night
The early sun of London morning
Burned the darkness with unanswered light
But morn (Dsus4) ing found (G major) you (D major) crying
Waiting (G major) for a woman
(D major) Where she left you (G major) in an
empty (Dsus4) state (D major) of mind
Waiting (A major) not for (D major) her (A major) but for
(D major) Re (G major) lief from passing time
(D major)

Verse 2
And a young friend talking softly
As the mis (Dsus4) (D major) t
keep (G major) s tum (D major) bling down
But the woman wait (Dsus4)
(D major) ing for him near
Stayed and told you of the
(G major) Peace that could be (D major) found
And a fallen (Dsus4) heart
(G major) was (D major) woken
In your tired (Dsus4) (G major)
(Dsus4) (G major) waiting (D major) time
And you thought you
might (G major) begin (D major) again
From (A major) all the (G major) ashes of your mind (D major)
And though he used (G major) (D major) no poetry
His word (G major) (D major) (G major) s are weaving song (D major) s
And the peace they were recalling
Were good roads that you
Might have walked along
And the skies (Dsus4) you saw (G major)
(D major) (Dsus4) were (D major) all the same
Although his (G major) words were not (D major) your own
But the words and images (G major) you've
spoken (D major) (Dsus4) (D major)
Are the ashes (A major) from a (G major) peace
Outro 1
you'd never known
(D major)
