[Verse 1]
E E6
Now she didn't get off to a very good start.
A
And she tangled with love and he broke her heart.
E B B7
In a crumbling home had shown the childhood dreams were never real.
E E6
I came along, she was seventeen,
A
With the sun in her eyes and you know what I mean.
E C#m F# B
She grew up too soon in the shade of my love, she taught me how to feel.
[Bridge 1]
G#m
Loving each other was never enough.
C#m
She was watching me grow and she wrote it up
G#m C#m F#m7 B7
In a book of life she gave to me the day the white ships sailed.
G#m C#m
Farewell my darling, au revoir.
F#m7 Am
I will pray every day for you, oh.
[Chorus 1]
E A
And she would stay alone while I'm away.
G#m F#m7 B7
She wouldn't walk all alone in the city without me.
E A C#
She would stay alone. She wouldn't play in the dark
F#m E Am E
With this love inside........my heart.
[Verse 2]
E E6
I came home on a summer night
A
And the wind in her hair and she looked just right
E C#m
There was never another kind of woman
F#m B7
Could see right through my soul
E E6
Suddenly after the southern rain
A
She rode out of my life on the midnight train
E C#m F# B7
And I fell to the ground and the world became the last place I should be
[Bridge 2]
G#m
Wandering angel I will wait for you
C#m
For the sound of your voice, the dream that you made
G#m C#m F#m7 B7
The book of life you gave to me still keeps my flame alive
G#m C#m
Nobody knows which way I'm going
F#m Am
But I only search for you. Oh....
[Chorus 2]
E A
So won't you stay alone while I'm away
G#m C#m
If we both walk in the same direction
F#m7 B7
Maybe my eyes will see you one day
E A C#
Stay alone and may your dreams come to be
F#m E Am E A/E
All this love inside....of me
E A A/B E
Stay alone......Oh.....Ohhhhhhhhh
