C
I hear the train all night
G Am G C
sound of its wind blowing through our subtle lives
G
and i have a job to do walking these cars
Am G C
walking all asleep to get to you
Am C
but I don't feel your stir beside me
Am G
and your not in my morning hour
C
some ties are made to break
G Am G
some stalks grow high and green to rot away
C
and feel the wake
C
and these lines tell the truth
G Am G C
these city veins answer all you do
Am C
so could you keep me in the pulses
Am G
could you keep me in the sound
C G
i got wise and I got old
Am G
not once, not once did I fall
C
so don't you know
C
maybe you bet on me
G Am G
while we were still young enough to know
C
or to believe
C
for every year you took
G Am G
for every soft breathe or loving look
C
believe me
Am C
and dont keep me like you have me
Am G
and dont kiss me like you don't
C G
I got wise and I got old
Am G
not once, not once did I fall
C
so dont you now
C
some land holds a home
G Am G
some of my years only hold
C
me to Rome
C
but I tell myself its true
G Am G
you see a home you see a man
C
you see it too
Am C
and I say don't you know you have her
Am G
go on kiss her now you boy
C G
i got wise and I got old
Am G
not once, not once did I fall
C
so don't you know
C G
i got wise and I got old
Am G
not once, not once did I fall
C
so don't you know
