[D] _ _ _ [C] On a morning [Bm] from a [Em] forgotten movie In a country [Bm] where they [Em] turned back _ time
[C] You're just strolling [Bm] through the crowd [Em] like Peter Lorre [Am] contemplating a crime
[D] She _ [C] comes out of [Bm] the sun in [Em] a silk dress running [B] like a watercolour [C] in the rain

[D] _ _ _ [C] She doesn't [Bm] give you time [Em] for questions _ [C] as she locks [Bm] up your [Em] eyes and hers
[C] And you follow [Bm] to your [Em] sense of which direction [Am] completely _ [D] disappears
By _ [C] the blue [Bm]-tiled [Em] walls near the market stalls [B] of the hidden door she [C] leads you to

[D] _ _ _ [C] But the drumbeat [Bm] strains [Em] of the night remain and [B] the rhythm of the new born [C] day
