D
she got down on hands and knees ,
Asus G
one ear against the ground ,
D
holding her breath to hear something ,
Asus G
but the dirt made not a sound tonight

D Asus G
echoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores ,
D Asus G
where we danced just to please the gods that only ask for more ,

Bm
so it goes
A G
but still we give ourselves to this
G
we can’t spend our lives waiting to live

D
on cold nights
Asus
in a prayer for dawn
Bm
but daylight
G
isn’t what she wants

D
the concrete
Asus
calls my name again
Bm
i’m falling
G
through the cracks i slip

D
the postcard says wish you were here
Asus G
but i’d rather i was there ,
D Asus G
holding on to the simple things before they disappear ,
Bm
that’s what i meant
A G
but that was then , and this is now
G
i’ll make it up to you somehow

D
on cold nights
Asus
in a prayer for dawn
Bm
but daylight
G
isn’t what she wants

D
the concrete
Asus
calls my name again
Bm
i’m falling
G
through the cracks i slip

Bm A
a destination , a fading smile .
D G
another station , another mile .
Bm A
another day gone , i swore that i will .
D
be there before dawn .
G
so be there , i will .

D
she got down on hands and knees ,
Asus G
one ear against the ground ,
D
holding her breath to hear something ,
Asus G
anything at all
G
the dirt whispered , “child , i’m coming home”
