[Em]
[G]
[B] [E]
[A] Oh, watch out!
Oh, springtime, [F#m] won't you let fly?
Your shadow light, [B] aren't you hunting?
You're bothering now, are you [Dm]
leaving me, babe?
Leaving anyhow, but [A] I will remember you when the rain falls down
[C#m] And I see you standing there in your bright blue gown
[G] Your door's [B] there, still he doesn't care [E] you're gone
[D]
[E] [D]
[E] [D]
[E] [A] Tell me, you don't want to travel
[F#m] Or did it go back amidst the noise and my boat [B] that's dragging me?
When I tell you that, [Dm] you know it won't be so long, babe
You know you're coming back, [A] and I'll wait right here till the sky is [C#m] clear
And I'll keep looking into that endless [G] stare
Then you're gonna know there really [E] wasn't nothing to fear
[D]
[E] [D]
[E] [D]
[E] [A]
Don't cry, baby, in the dark of night
When you know I ain't there to hold you [C#m] tight
And I can't answer any of your question [F#m] branches
Like [B] the way that we woke up in the morning
And the way that the dawn was storming
[Dm] And the clouds were there, love
And sudden winters have fell
[A] And the sun came rising, it was [C#m] surprising
And cast out all your dark [G] surmises
And the clock came, spoke my [E] name, and left me
Yeah, yeah
[D]
[E] [D]
[E] [D]
[E] [A]
I'm not alone on this earth, so fair
There's something else beside me, [C#] yeah
Something to keep me ever [F#m] looking forward, yeah
[B] And it's brighter than the sunlight
And it's purer than the moonlight
[Dm] And it's drawing me toward it like a moth out of the night
[A] And I know I'll arrive where there ain't no [C#m] time
Not a mention of plain, of joys of [G] life
Keep on being [B] free, what it's gotta [E] be
In this game
[D] Yeah, yeah, [E] yeah
Yeah
Oh, [D] yeah
[A] [E] [D]
