[G]
[Em] the stick and for [C] the song, [A] knowing [C] you're [G]

[Em] glancing up at where [C] you lived when you [A] lived here.
[C] [G]
I see [Em] you suddenly [C]
alive, [A] nearly [C] smiling.
[G]
[D] Stop [Em] and hold my [C] breath and watch the way [Am] you [C] used to [D]

[G]
[D] Blinking [Em] line with [C] gravel, shoulder squared [A] [C] towards an end.
[A]
Where [Em] the [G] radio [C]
resounds [Am] and [G] doppling traffic.
[A] Where [Em] the [G] power line [C] steel less is from [Am] the [C] hourly [G] news.
The plural [C]

We turn and [C]
walk, our [Bm] cities small.
[G] Send us signals in [C] the glow.

[E] night window, [A]
[G] night window.
But [D] you're not [Bm]
[C] coming home again.
[G] Night window.
And [D] I won't [Bm]
ever [C] get to say goodnight.
[G] Night window, I'm [E] sorry that [Bm] I missed the wake.
I'll [C] make it all again.
[G] Night window, and [A] I'm sorry that [Bm] I missed the wake.
I'll never [C] get to [G] say.
