You Gfold his hands and smooth his tie
You gently lift his chin
Were you Cadd2really so blind
And unkind to him?
Can't Em9help the itch to touch, to kiss
To hold him once again
Now to F6/9close his eyes
Never Am11open Csus2them

A shadow passed, a shadow passed

A7For the fool it Cmaj9called a home
GAll things he never did are Cadd2left behind
All the things his Em9mama wished he'd bear in mind
And F6/9all his dad had hoped he'd know
Am11Oh...Cadd2 F6/9
(Same as verse)
The talks you never had
The Saturdays you never spent
All the grown-up places
You never went
And all of the crying
You wouldn't understand
You just let him cry
Make a man out of him
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning
For the fool it called a home
All things he ever wished are left behind
All the things his mama did to make him mind
And how his dad had hoped he'd grow
All things he ever lived are left behind
All the fears that ever flickered through his mind
All the sadness that he'd come to own
A shadow past, a shadow past
Yearning, yearning
For the fool it called a home
Csus2And it A7whistles through the ghosts still Cmaj9left behind
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind
It Em13whistles through the ghosts still left behind
