[Intro]
Dmaj7 Gm Dmaj7 Gm
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 Gm
Sunlight throws cold shadows on another lonely day
Dmaj7 Gm
I'm lost on a planet somewhere in the middle of the Milky Way
F#m7 B F#m7 B Em7 A
I feel so very small, I long to leave it all behind and sail away
Em7 A Em7
The dues we have to pay are much too high
A Dmaj7 A N.C.
And so goodbye, my lady love
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 Gm
Twilight draws dark curtains on a slowly burning sky
Dmaj7 Gm
I look to the heavens and I wish on a star to send me wings to fly
F#m7 B F#m7 B
I'm running out of time, I can't make up my mind
Em7 A Em7 A
And so the story goes about a man who knows
Em7 A Dmaj7 A N.C.
Love is kind to those who find a way to love
[Bridge]
A7 Dmaj7
Now a song breaks so softly through this emptiness of mine
A7 Dmaj7
And a smile like a rainbow in this wilderness I find
Gm7 Dmaj7 B
As I gaze into your eyes, suddenly I realize
Em7 E7 A N.C.
What love is and what it really means
[Sax Solo]
