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