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