[Intro] |N.C. |N.C. [Verse 1]

Fsus4    F     F
Darkness falls

                   C    C
Around your window pane

  Fsus4       F     
A light still burns

F                      C     C
But just a smouldering flame

[Chorus]

G                  C
Is it the end of another affair

    G                   C
An open engagement with gloom

   A
Or will you be smiling

         D
When the sun conjures up

  G                        C      A     G
A broken spell au clair de lu---u-u---u-une?

[Verse 2]

Fsus4 F       F
Sil - houette

                C     C
As you draw the shade

Fsus4    F     F
Cloak of night

                     C    C
You know it's tailor-made

[Chorus]

G
G-Plan gymnastics

      C
By an everglow fire

G                    C
Could never mean the same

   A
As summer enchantment

      D
By an old mill steam

     G                      C      A     G
From courtly love to costly ga---a-a---a-ame

[Instrumental] |Fsus4 F |F |C |C |Fsus4 F |F |C |C |G |C |G |C |A |D |G |C |A |G |G [Bridge]

Bb          Gm
  Maybe I'm wrong for seeming

Bb            Gm
  Ungrateful, unforgiving

Dm                          C
Oh! how it hurts now you're finally leaving

A                 G       G
I couldn't take anymo-----ore

[Verse 3]

Fsus4     F    F
Now's the time!

            C    C
Let's hide away

Fsus4  F     F
Sacred hours

                 C    C
Saved from yesterday

[Chorus]

G                     C
Boo-hoo willows weep around you still

G                     C
Mirror reflections of dew

    A                     D
But waterfall pages of an open book

      G                   C
Could shower new horizons soon

         A
Call the tune

         G
Will you swoon

     C
As I croon

     Fsus4 F
Your se--- renade
