VERSE 1 ********
G                 D
Minutes seem like hours 

    C                    D
And hours they seem like days

         G                 D
When the ones you want are missing

            C                   D
And they've gone their separate ways

C            G            Em             D
Walking in a sunny garden empty like the moon

    C                     G
And birds that once could fly so high

    Em               D
Now sing a different tune
----------------------------------------------------- VERSE 2 ********
G              D
Walking in the park

               C                D
The leaves are turning now it's fall

    G                 D
The time has come for leaving 

         C                 D
In their eyes that says it all

C               G
Pictures on the mantle

         Em              D
Tell the tales of better times

C              G              Em
Moments from a long long time ago

                 D
When things were fine
----------------------------------------------------- CHORUS *******
D        G
One fine day

         C          D
When the wild birds return

      D             Em
We'll look back and say

       C                   D
What a lesson in life I've learned
----------------------------------------------------- VERSE 3 ********
   G                  D
So light a broad wick candle

       C              D
In the window make it bright

    G                 D
You need to find your way home 

       C                D
In the dark and deepest nights

    C                  G
And if you're lost and homeless

        Em          D
In some lonely city zone

     C                G
Just follow back that winding road

     Em                D
That leads you back on home
