#1.
F                             C
See the lazy windmills slowly turning..
Bb                    C              F
cutting up the marble canyons of the sky.
F                              C       Gm
See the dust around my feet go churning..
Bb                             C
moving with the winds down the highways
       F
of goodbyes.
CHORUS:
F                                          C
Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon.
Bb                   C                F
Looking over maps of memories for the road.
F                                          C
Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon..
         Bb               C           F
with the unexpected destination of my home.
#2.
F                                       C
Half the thoughts I'm thinking speak in sighs.
        Bb               C            F
As that same old wave of loneliness returns.
F                                 C     Bb
And I can see you when I close my eyes, speaking 
     C             F
very softly as you turned.
CHORUS:
F                                          C
Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon.
Bb                   C                F
Looking over maps of memories for the road.
F                                          C
Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon..
         Bb               C           F
with the unexpected destination of my home.
