Intro: C B Am G F C C

verse 1

C B Am G

I finished writing this song in the summer

F C

Now I'm watching the snow flakes fall

C B 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 G 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 Am G

And I'm glad I stayed out drinking

F C

Put some medicine in my mind

C B 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 G Am G

And I get the feeling this has happened before

F G C

With love from Halcyon

[Refrão] 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 Am G

As the morning breaks over Southampton

F C

I'm wondering how long and how far

C B 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 G Am G

I can picture him now singing "Lowlands away"

F G C

With love from Halcyon

C B Am G

I remember early evening

F C

First time summer showed her face

C B 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 G Am G

If time is money then money isn't much

F G C

With love from Halcyon

[Refrão] 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 Am G

Well many years gone I've been travelling on

F C

Searching across this land

C B 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 G Am G

But we still see the same sunsets and walk the same lines

F G C

With love from Halcyon

C B Am G

Started writing this song in the winter,

F C

Now I'm watching the spring blossom fall

C B 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 G 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 Am

Underneath my grandson's bed

Dm

But I heard there's

G

A universe somewhere

C

WHere this song

B

Wasn't written

Am G

Yet

[Refrão] 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
