Cm D#
I’ll call her Eliza, the girl with no name
A# Fm
All wrapped up in silence, in secrets, in pain
Cm D#
In north country winter, both tied to the road
A# Fm
She Smiled and said nothing, I bared her my soul.
Cm D#
And I knew that I loved her, but I couldn’t say why
A# Fm
And all of that silence might well have been lies
Cm D#
She cried out “I love you, but I’ll never be free.
A# Fm
There ‘aint no use guessing, just forget about me.”

D# A# Fm Ab
Oooh, Oooh, It’s lonesome out here on the road
D# A#
Where the last points of fire that light the night sky
Cm Ab
Burn down to their embers and flicker and die
D# A# Fm Ab
And Oooh Oooh, My fingers go numb in the cold
D# A#
Where the last little spark that’s disrupting the dark
Cm Ab
Is that last bit of feeling that’s left in my heart
Cm D# A# Fm Cm D# A# Fm
[VERSE]
Cm D#
My footsteps were haunted for many long weeks
A# Fm
I couldn’t find shelter in those dull dusty streets
Cm D#
So I found me a railcar with no windows, no doors
A# Fm
Poured out all my love on the cold rusty floor
[VERSE]
Cm D#
And in the gray morning I was long gone, away
A# Fm
In a far eastern country where the language is strange
Cm D#
Where the seabirds they circle no ocean nearby
A# Fm
Like lost souls they’re crying, lamenting their plight
Cm A# Fm
[VERSE]
Cm D#
The sun rises and sets in the same goddamn place
A# Fm
Shadows circle my body and laugh in my face
Cm D#
Though I set out to find me a whole brand new life
A# Fm
I don’t want to forget her, I don’t want to die

Where the last points of fire that light the night sky

Burn down to their embers and flicker and die

And Oooh oooh, My fingers go numb in the cold

Where the last little spark that’s disrupting the dark

Is that last bit of feeling that’s left in my heart
