Intro - E C#m A B x2
A E
Cold dawn won`t comfort you
A E
Cold coffee won`t see you through
A E
Cold sheets won`t heal your heart
A E
Your frozen fingers or your name so tarred
E C#m A B
I know so rarely that things come your way
E C#m A B
Your ways are tender and your paths are straight
E C#m A B
Your mind`s not lived in the way ours are set
E C#m A B
Your heart is open to love and regret
A E
Rings and letters they pass you by
You wish them well and seldom cry
For stones and promises and wedding sighs
You`ve known the times that you`ve lived and died
E C#m A B
These sailors come and spend time ashore
Their thoughts are hoarded as yours have been stored
Your mind`s not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret
E A E
Outside in the morning air
I hear the soundtrack of the Blues harp player
It touches feelings that you don`t arouse
Knocks me back to that shuttered house
Take me back when they`re all out
Take me back to that shuttered house
Solo E C#m A B (chords continue til fade)
