Verse 1
Am 
D 
E 
A 
D 
The night is a time for my returnin'
A 
Am 
A 
My lover's  heart beats
D 
E 
tunes for him to tell
D 
A 
Am 
D 
A 
I nestle up close by  for to listen,
D 
A 
Am 
A 
E 
to know again the things  I
A 
Am 
D 
Am 
know so well.
E 
For today was a day of
Am 
A 
D 
another highway,
A 
of walking unknown street
D 
E 
s in strangers ways.
A 
D 
But evening is the time for my returning
A 
Am 
D 
A 
To the bed where
Am 
my body longs to lay
A 
D 
Her eyes will lead me off a lonesome trail
Am 
D 
A 
Am 
A 
Her hands will cool my
Dm 
D 
E 
body hot and weary
D 
A 
She can harbor me before
D 
Am 
A 
tomorrow's journey
D 
Am 
When I face again
E 
Am 
the storms of another sea
A 
And her skin will be as moist
D 
A 
D 
as softness soil
A 
Am 
A 
Smelling warm as the
D 
E 
rain fern in the spring
D 
A 
And a  -breathin' is a
D 
A 
waterfall upon me
Am 
A 
D 
A 
Am 
E 
To  make the darkness swim
Am 
A 
and my body sing
D 
E 
A 
And love leaps at the night of flamin'
D 
Am 
D 
E 
It'll make the rushin' rivers for to run
D 
A 
D 
It'll take me to the depth
A 
of the deepest ocean
D 
A 
To the place I know
E 
D 
where every man comes
Am 
A 
D 
A 
Am 
from
A 
Then she'll leave me by the
D 
grassy banks of knowledge
A 
D 
A 
D 
E 
To the place where the silent waters fall
D 
A 
D 
Dm 
I can't sink in the quiet, coolin' grasses
A 
D 
A 
E 
To remember all before the
A 
E 
Esus4 
E 
daybreak come
A 
D 
But my head lies weary,
E 
A 
dreams are now callin'
D 
A 
The night is plungin' on
D 
E 
down slumber's way
D 
A 
D 
The dawn will find my true
A 
love lyin' by me
D 
A 
To warm my eyes and
