Key: F# minor
Verse 1
By shadows of the night that follows me
As I drive your way
The moon hangs from the sky
The drink hangs from the branches
While I lie in the gutter
The road is full of sand
It falls upon the landing,
it falls upon the landing
And I wonder where you are,
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Sometimes I come home
and I'm glad that you are sleeping
I don't have to pretend
that you are thinking of me
Or something like that in
the middle of the night
She really is for taking
As she lies there softly
sleeping undisturbed
And I wish my voice, my breath,
my touch could awaken her
And do the way that you are doing
I'm gonna spell her name
I'm gonna spell her name
I'm gonna spell her name
I'm gonna spell her name
I'm gonna spell her name
I'm gonna spell her name
There really is no reason
Verse 2
for the way that I was feeling
F#m
It should have been the weather
Verse 3
or something less than that
F#m
Maybe need to trade in
Verse 4
for something that's much brighter
F#m
Maybe different colors,
maybe not so tight
Verse 5
you're so tight
F#m
I wanna spell her name
I wanna spell her name
Verse 7
Six inches and fall like a delicate veil
F#m
Verse 8
The touch of a kiss feels like it's all over now
F#m
I never could jump from high enough
I never could jump from high enough
D
F#m
A third story jumping high enough
G
F#m
It's just a mess on Market Street
I never could jump from high enough
I never could jump from high enough
Down at the Hotel Queen
in Sacramento and Poland
It's just a mess on Mount Kingston
Neighbors spend their day washing socks
I hear a one -legged man
Staring out the window in a thoracic haze
They take their medicines
On his belly
They take their medicines and spell
Staring out the window in
authority's hands
They wanna spell your name
They take their medicines
That was so long ago
F#m
E
I wanna spell your name

That was so long ago
