[Verse 1]
A A6
Now she didn't get off to a very good start.
D
And she tangled with love and he broke her heart.
A E E7
In a crumbling home had shown the childhood dreams were never real.
A A6
I came along, she was seventeen,
D
With the sun in her eyes and you know what I mean.
A F#m B E
She grew up too soon in the shade of my love, she taught me how to feel.
[Bridge 1]
C#m
Loving each other was never enough.
F#m
She was watching me grow and she wrote it up
C#m F#m Bm7 E7
In a book of life she gave to me the day the white ships sailed.
C#m F#m
Farewell my darling, au revoir.
Bm7 Dm
I will pray every day for you, oh.
[Chorus 1]
A D
And she would stay alone while I'm away.
C#m Bm7 E7
She wouldn't walk all alone in the city without me.
A D F#
She would stay alone. She wouldn't play in the dark
Bm A Dm A
With this love inside........my heart.
[Verse 2]
A A6
I came home on a summer night
D
And the wind in her hair and she looked just right
A F#m
There was never another kind of woman
Bm E7
Could see right through my soul
A A6
Suddenly after the southern rain
D
She rode out of my life on the midnight train
A F#m B E7
And I fell to the ground and the world became the last place I should be
[Bridge 2]
C#m
Wandering angel I will wait for you
F#m
For the sound of your voice, the dream that you made
C#m F#m Bm7 E7
The book of life you gave to me still keeps my flame alive
C#m F#m
Nobody knows which way I'm going
Bm Dm
But I only search for you. Oh....
[Chorus 2]
A D
So won't you stay alone while I'm away
C#m F#m
If we both walk in the same direction
Bm7 E7
Maybe my eyes will see you one day
A D F#
Stay alone and may your dreams come to be
Bm A Dm A D/A
All this love inside....of me
A D D/E A
Stay alone......Oh.....Ohhhhhhhhh
