Intro 1

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

Verse 2
And a young friend talking softly
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
D D 
 
As the mis      t
G G 
 
D D 
 
keeps  tumbling down
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
But the woman wait
D D 
 
ing for him near
Stayed and told you of the
G G 
 
D D 
 
Peace that could be found
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
And a fallen heart
G G 
 
D D 
 
was woken
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
G G 
 
In your tired
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
waiting time
And you thought you
G G 
 
D D 
 
might begin again
A A 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
From all the ashes of your mind
G G 
 
D D 
 
And though he used no poetry
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
His words are weaving songs
And the peace they were recalling
Were good roads that you
Might have walked along
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
G G 
 
And the skies you saw
D D 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
D D 
 
were all the same
G G 
 
D D 
 
Although his words were not your own
G G 
 
But the words and images you've
D D 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
D D 
 
spoken
A A 
 
G G 
 
Are the ashes from a peace
