A A Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings Dmaj9 A A/G When the distant sea blended with the sky A A Past Coliseums filled with brass on pavements carved from toasted glass Dmaj9 A I carried in my heart a word or two F#7sus4 Your dashing horseman all gone away Dmaj7 Left you the stable bill to pay F#7sus4 Dmaj7 And now the golden calf has turned to clay F#7sus4 All my feelings dressed in gloves Dmaj7 Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love F#7sus4 Dmaj7 White and open-necked you would still play A A I'd resort to sleepwalking to catch the mood that fills the sails Dmaj9 A A/G With harvest nets and tides don't ever bring A Dmaj9 But every night was Halloween, and every friend fell in between Dmaj9 A And how capricious nature ruled my mind F#7sus4 Your dashing horseman all gone away Dmaj7 Left you the stable bill to pay F#7sus4 Dmaj7 And now the golden calf has turned to clay F#7sus4 All my feelings dressed in gloves Dmaj7 Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love F#7sus4 Dmaj7 White and open-necked you would still play

A A Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings Dmaj9 A A/G When the distant sea blended with the sky A Dmaj9 My mouth was full of cigarettes, my hair is full of long-term bets Dmaj9 A A/G But you would always make me see the day F#7sus4 Your dashing horseman all gone away Dmaj7 Left you the stable bill to pay F#7sus4 Dmaj7 And now the golden calf has turned to clay F#7sus4 All my feelings dressed in gloves Dmaj7 Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love F#7sus4 Dmaj7 White and open-necked you would still play

Dmaj7 F#7sus4 Dmaj7 I sound so different these days, I barely can believe I'm me F#7sus4 Dmaj7 If I didn't know better, I would swear I was someone else F#7sus4 Dmaj7 Lord I can't believe, I don't believe I'm me F#7sus4 Dmaj7 But who on earth could I be?
