Intro: C
F C G
I wake to the radio morning news
F C
Just as the day is dawning
F C G
And I watch from the window while a passing cloud
F C
Dulls the hopeful morning
G F C
And I wonder will the girl I love
F C G
Come back with the morning
C F C G
But the omen crow at the waking hour
F C
Has given me fair warning
G F
And the heart that's breaking
C
Never makes a sound
G F
And the heart that's breaking
C
Never makes a sound
F C G
She was once my heart's delight
F C
My need and my desire
F C G
She was my day, she was my night
F C
My water and my fire
G F C
And I was once the same to her
F C G
When we still walked together
C F C G
But the heavy heart at the waking hour's
F C
Expecting heavy weather
G F
And the heart that's breaking
C
Never makes a sound
G F
And the heart that's breaking
C
Never makes a sound
