[Verse 1]
C# C#6
Now she didn't get off to a very good start.
Gb
And she tangled with love and he broke her heart.
C# G# G#7
In a crumbling home had shown the childhood dreams were never real.
C# C#6
I came along, she was seventeen,
Gb
With the sun in her eyes and you know what I mean.
C# A#m D# G#
She grew up too soon in the shade of my love, she taught me how to feel.
[Bridge 1]
Fm
Loving each other was never enough.
A#m
She was watching me grow and she wrote it up
Fm A#m D#m7 G#7
In a book of life she gave to me the day the white ships sailed.
Fm A#m
Farewell my darling, au revoir.
D#m7 Gbm
I will pray every day for you, oh.
[Chorus 1]
C# Gb
And she would stay alone while I'm away.
Fm D#m7 G#7
She wouldn't walk all alone in the city without me.
C# Gb A#
She would stay alone. She wouldn't play in the dark
D#m C# Gbm C#
With this love inside........my heart.
[Verse 2]
C# C#6
I came home on a summer night
Gb
And the wind in her hair and she looked just right
C# A#m
There was never another kind of woman
D#m G#7
Could see right through my soul
C# C#6
Suddenly after the southern rain
Gb
She rode out of my life on the midnight train
C# A#m D# G#7
And I fell to the ground and the world became the last place I should be
[Bridge 2]
Fm
Wandering angel I will wait for you
A#m
For the sound of your voice, the dream that you made
Fm A#m D#m7 G#7
The book of life you gave to me still keeps my flame alive
Fm A#m
Nobody knows which way I'm going
D#m Gbm
But I only search for you. Oh....
[Chorus 2]
C# Gb
So won't you stay alone while I'm away
Fm A#m
If we both walk in the same direction
D#m7 G#7
Maybe my eyes will see you one day
C# Gb A#
Stay alone and may your dreams come to be
D#m C# Gbm C# Gb/C#
All this love inside....of me
C# Gb Gb/G# C#
Stay alone......Oh.....Ohhhhhhhhh
