F5                      C5
I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
F5                                   A5                  G5   
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren?t 
there anymore
F5                             C5                                 
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
F5                  A5
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
C5                     G5                             F5
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
                          C5                              
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
F5                                A5   
Running into the dark underground
                     G5
All the subways around create a great sound
F5                           C5
To my motion fatigue: farewell

With your ear to a seashell
F5                     
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
A5                  G5                        C5
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room


G5      A5          F5                 C5
Time together isn't ever quite enough
G5             A5       C5                           F5   
When you and I are alone, I?ve never felt so at home
G5              A5            F5                   C5
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
G5          A5  C5      F5
We need time, only time


When we're apart, whatever are you thinking of?
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
All the time, all the time


Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn?t let me sign on
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home some nights, when we count all the ship lights
I guess I'll never know why sparrows love the snow
We?ll turn out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
