I can't imagine anyone hungry for

these crumbs from home that I bring.
G

And the only thing I seem

to write these days

Are letters back home to you
Dm
Gsus4
G
I guess I'm a writer, a dreamer , I know
Dm
C
F
G
Here is one that I want to conjure
F
This dream I have that
G
keeps me hanging on
C

When our letters get crossed in the maze
Dm
Is to wake up at home,
Gsus4

in the house of the shade
Dm

With you by my side in Wales

plunders

I don't know where
G
all the money goes
C

But I come over here with nothing
G
Dm
C
F
And that's how I'm leaving again
G
F
This dream I have that
G
keeps me hanging on
C
F
And beside it everything pales
Dm
Is to wake up at home
Gsus4
G
In the house on the shore
Dm
G
C
With you by my side it wails
F
C
G
C
With you by my side it wails

shaking your hand
G

But the real truth comes hard
G
in a hotel room,
C
F
with no phone and an empty bed
Dm
And my hands keep on shakin'
G
and I feel so small
Dm
C
F
And nightmares fill my head
G
F
And the dream I have that
G
keeps me hangin' on
C
When this train nearly leaves the rails
F
Dm
Is to wake up at home
G
in the house on the shelf
Dm
G
C
F
With you by my side and rest
C
G
C
With you by my side in waves
