	        C             G              Am                  E 
It was in the rainy season - waiting for the train 
Am               D           Bm              E 
Leaving in the afternoon - all on your own again. 
D                      Am            D                       Am 
Do you really understand it? Can you tell me why it is this way? 
G                  F    C         Am               D 
Sad lady at her portmanteau with no words left to say, 
F                     C                 Am         D     F 
Saving that it's only something that can happen any day. 

C           G            Am                  E 
Too loose, circus rider, turn on your childish grin, 
Am                  D                     Bm              E 
Shine on through the long black night, go ride the dawn again. 
D                                 Am         D                       Am 
Your eyes are stars that sweetly twinkle, aureole around your head aflame. 
G                  F       C         Am               D 
Sad story that you cannot tell, where no one is to blame. 
F                     C                 Am               D     F 
And anyhow its only something sure to come down with the rain. 

G                       F                C          G          Am 
Would I could hear your song so clear, the words could touch the air, 
     C                      Am           D               F 
And catch the moon's reflection in the colour of her hair. 
   C                   Am            C             G     Am 
To ease this ache of loneliness and blind the vicious stare. 

C          G            Am                        E 
Even now I do remember one thing more that is not told, 
       Am               D              Bm                  E 
Just a slightly twisted crystal heart to keep you from the cold. 
    D                      Am           D                       Am 
All up the coast along the highway nobody there will know your name. 
     G                          F       C         Am               D 
So strange how things should work out now, yet still remain the same. 
F                              C              Am              D     F 
And even so you know there's nothing that can ever really change...
