C (x32010@1)                               BbWe (x1333x@1)only knew each other by a letter
                            CI (x32010@1)went to meet her off the train
C (x32010@1)                                      BbWhen (x1333x@1)the smoke had cleared and the dust was still
                                     CShe (x32010@1)was standing there and speaking my name
C (x32010@1)                              BbI (x1333x@1)guarantee she looked like an angel
                                  CI (x32010@1)couldn't think of what I should say
C (x32010@1)                            BbBut (x1333x@1)when Adam saw Eve in the garden
                                CI (x32010@1)believe he felt the selfsame way

C (x32010@1)                              BbWe (x1333x@1)finally headed out of the station
                            CAnd (x32010@1)we drove up the home trail

                                CI (x32010@1)thought my resolution would fail
C (x32010@1)                                 BbAnd (x1333x@1)I froze as she stepped in the doorway

                                    CLord (x32010@1)she turned around and looked at me
