Verse 2

Gsus2

Where do shadows fall when

there's only light?

Gsus2

Why'd you follow me halfway

'round the world tonight?

What I'd give right now

not to even care

Gsus2

And then this could be

someone else's prayer

Verse 3
D 
Bm 
And on a sleepless night by
St. Stephen's Green
Gsus2 
Oh,      I turned and tossed
A 
with my Irish dreams
Gsus2 
D 
And when the morning shone
Bm 
through the burned- off mist
Gsus2 
A 
I could sense you still just as close as this

Verse 4
D 
G 
A 
Just as close as lips brush against a cheek
G 
It's your voice I hear and it's
A 
your name I speak
D 
But when I look around
Bm 
there's no one there
G 
Gsus2 
A 
D 
How I wish you were someone else's prayer
G 

Interlude 1

Gsus2

Verse 5
D 
And now the twilight comes
Bm 
as a si  lent guest
G 
Gsus2 
A 
And of all its gifts I like     stillness best
D 
A 
Except for tin- roof rains that
Bm 
commence with spring
G 
Gsus2 
It's a  lullaby     when
A 
that tin roof sings

Verse 6
Gsus2 
Now you can look     for me
A 
on the streets of Rome
G 
Gsus2 
Or in Dublin town,
G 
Bm 
A 
but I've gone back home
D 
Bm 
I would always be just a stranger there
Gsus2 
A 
D 
And now      you're free to be someone
