Intro: D  Bm  F#m  A  (repeat)

D         Bm    F#m     A
Each time on my leaving home

  D        Bm    F#m      A
I run back to my mother's arms,

D        Bm       F#m       A  D
One last hold and then it's over.

Watching me, you know I cry,
You wave a kiss to say goodbye,
Feel the sky fall down upon me!

Gmaj7 F#m   Bm         C     G
All I am, a child with promises

Em7   F#m       Bm            C    G      A
All I have, are miles full of promises of home.

If only I could stay with you,
My train moves on, you're gone from view,
Now I must wait until it's over.

Days will pass, your words to me,
It seems so long; eternity,
But I must wait until it's over.
