Night falls on you darling, darling
it falls on me too

You know, forever's awhile
and tomorrows still a night away

and I just wanna go home

I fly over the sea
and the planes I see you

hanging on the wing darling, darling
holding onto me

Passed out in my room
your breath is sunny and warm

you know, forever's a while
and tomorrows still cold and gray

Don't say you'll miss me

keep blowing me kisses over the phone

Note:
Frankly, I can't tell if the intro/transition chords are B-B/A#-G#m-Am or B-F#/A#-
E/G#-Em. I think the first version sounds better, but whatever you like. One of
my favorite songs (and bands). Here's hoping Miles gets his new album out this year.
