C B/C Am G F C C
[Verse 1]
C B/C Am G
I finished writing this song in the summer
F C
Now I'm watching the snow flakes fall
C B/C Am G
As the years go by I wonder if I
F G
Really like it here at all
C C7
I woke this morning in a strange town
F Dm
The truth is I thought I'd be dead by now
C B/C Am G
I guess I'll keep on going till they find me out
F G C
With love from Halcyon
[Verse 2]
C B/C Am G
And I'm glad I stayed out drinking
F C
Put some medicine in my mind
C B/C Am G
To distract me from this grain of sand
F G
In the middle of space and of time
C C7
This morning my head is losing the war
F Dm
It's cold outside as I walk out the door
C B/C Am G
And I get the feeling this has happened before
F G C
With love from Halcyon
[Chorus]
F C
And I can feel myself disappearing
Am G F
In the early morning sun
Am G F
And I fade with the road I'm walking on
Am G C
With love from Halcyon
[Verse 3]
C B/C Am G
As the morning breaks over Southampton
F C
I'm wondering how long and how far
C B/C Am G
Still thinking about that old friend
F G
As the waitress trips on my guitar
C C7
See he stopped singing songs and he moved away
F Dm
Heard he's picking apples down near Rattlesnake bay
C B/C Am G
I can picture him now singing "Lowlands away"
F G C
With love from Halcyon
C B/C Am G
I remember early evening
F C
First time summer showed her face
C B/C Am G
We sat outside with a GB and wine
F G
Talking about the good old days
C C7
When we woke up in Paris all covered in dust
F Dm
And the man on the boat pulled a knife on us
C B/C Am G
If time is money then money isn't much
F G C
With love from Halcyon
[Chorus]
F C
And I can feel us disappearing
Am G F
In the early morning sun
Am G F C
For we were just dead men walking
Am G C
With love from Halcyon
C B/C Am G
Well many years gone I've been travelling on
F C
Searching across this land
C B/C Am G
Now I don't know what I've been looking for yet
F G
Hope someday I'll understand
C C7
I'm just a copy of a copy my own version of time,
F Dm
I'll never see yours and you'll never see mine
C B/C Am G
But we still see the same sunsets and walk the same lines
F G C
With love from Halcyon
C B/C Am G
Started writing this song in the winter,
F C
Now I'm watching the spring blossom fall
C B/C Am G
Tell me how can the difference between hours and years
F G
Feel so endless and yet so small
C C7
I left that house about 4 this morning
F Dm
And I got a feeling they'll carry on going
C B/C Am G
Till the cigarettes freeze over and the whisky stops flowing
F G
They'll be singing "Lowlands away"
F G
And if Halcyon is the days gone by
C B Am
And she is the one that I love
F G
And if now is the place that I'm supposed to be
Am G F
Then it isn't long enough
F G
For someday soon I'll be a photograph
C B/C Am
Underneath my grandson's bed
Dm
But I heard there's
G
A universe somewhere
C
Where this song
B/C
Wasn't written
Am G
Yet
[Chorus]
F C
So if you feel yourself disappearing
Am G F
In the early morning sun
Am G F
Just smile and keep on walking
Am G C
With love from Halcyon
Am G C
With love from Halzephron
[Verse 1]
