D A
Pale snow white with cherry lips
Your taste will linger
G
like the last time
D
The shadows 'neath your eyes
A
hide under thick black lines
G
that draw me in
D A
I'm alive in broken moments
but mostly living for the
G
sparkling gold that flecks
D
the ocean of your eyes
G
Those shining promises
A
Relieve me of my senses
G
and I simply smile
D G A D
Sing to me; your voice is all I strain to hear
G A D
Talk to me - for conversation keeps you near
A
Kiss me gently, I will hold you
G
'til the night train comes
D A
Open hearts and zipped down jeans
our passion's stilted
G
by the fear of being caught
D
Or fear of growing close
A
and never letting go
G
I crossed your lines
D
Throw words around
A
and skirt around the ones that matter
G
Decide it isn't time,
D A
Not now, not yet
D
But you don't leave
A
You don't leave
G
Well please don't leave
D G A D
Sing to me; your voice is all I strain to hear
G A D
Talk to me - for conversation keeps you near
A
Kiss me gently, I will hold you
G
'til the night train comes
A
And all this waiting
G
All this suppression
D
I don't know what it's doing to you
A
But it's killing me
D
And when the night train comes
A
we're still talking about us
G
and when you realise
you quickly take your leave
D
At the bus stop we are silent
A
we barely touch
G
But inwardly I'm crying out
D
As the bus comes round the corner
A
We make fleeting goodbyes
G
and with a kiss you're gone
D
until the next time
And I'm left hoping
A
I'm left hoping
G
Hoping I'll see you again
D G A D
Sing to me; your voice is all I strain to hear
G A D
Talk to me - for conversation keeps you near
A
Kiss me gently, I will hold you
D
'til the night train comes
