Theme from Midnight Express [Chris Bennett] [Verse 1]
Gm                                                   Dm
As the night is leaving, silently retreating down an empty hall

Gm                                             Dm
Suddenly a stirring, finally recurring where I let it fall

Eb                              Eb7                        Bb                          Ab
Following the wand’rings of a dream, a dream that keeps my soul alive; believing in an open sky

                D7
Believing in a love.
[Verse 2]
Gm                                                        Dm
Dancing with a stranger, careless of the danger; There within his smile

Gm                                                        Dm
While the dew was forming, breathing in the morning like a sleeping child

Eb                                 Eb7                   Gm                                 Cm          Dm
If the memory of the light should fade horizons reaching cold and blue, until your heart is free to fly

                     Gm         Bb                     Cm     Dm                     Gm
Then I will keep the sun for you. Until you touch the open sky. Then I will keep the sun for you
