AOnce upon a time I stalked the Astreets on raining evenings
Dmaj7/9 A A/G
When the distant sea blended with the sky
Past AColiseums filled with brass on Apavements carved from toasted glass
Dmaj7/9 A
I carried in my heart a word or two
Your F#7sus4dashing horseman all gone away
Left Dmaj7you the stable bill to pay
And F#7sus4now the golden calf has turned to Dmaj7clay
F#7sus4All my feelings dressed in gloves
Couldn't Dmaj7touch your windswept harbour love
F#7sus4White and open-necked you would still Dmaj7play
AI'd resort to sleepwalking to Acatch the mood that fills the sails
Dmaj7/9 A A/G
With harvest nets and tides don't ever bring
A Dmaj7/9
But every night was Halloween, and every friend fell in between
Dmaj7/9 A
And how capricious nature ruled my mind
Your F#7sus4dashing horseman all gone away
Left Dmaj7you the stable bill to pay
And F#7sus4now the golden calf has turned to Dmaj7clay
F#7sus4All my feelings dressed in gloves
Couldn't Dmaj7touch your windswept harbour love
F#7sus4White and open-necked you would still Dmaj7play

AOnce upon a time I stalked the Astreets on raining evenings
Dmaj7/9 A A/G
When the distant sea blended with the sky
A Dmaj7/9
My mouth was full of cigarettes, my hair is full of long-term bets
Dmaj7/9 A A/G
But you would always make me see the day
Your F#7sus4dashing horseman all gone away
Left Dmaj7you the stable bill to pay
And F#7sus4now the golden calf has turned to Dmaj7clay
F#7sus4All my feelings dressed in gloves
Couldn't Dmaj7touch your windswept harbour love
F#7sus4White and open-necked you would still Dmaj7play

Dmaj7 I sound so different these days,F#7sus4 I barely can beliDmaj7eve I'm me
F#7sus4 If I didn't know better, Dmaj7 I would swear I was someone else
F#7sus4 Lord I can't believe, Dmaj7 I don't believe I'm me
F#7sus4 But who on Dmaj7earth could I be?
