Standard (EADGBE)

Pale snow white with cherry lips

Your taste will linger

 like the last time

The shadows 'neath your eyes

 hide under thick black lines

 that draw me in

I'm alive in broken moments

but mostly living for the

sparkling gold that flecks

 the ocean of your eyes

Those shining promises

Relieve me of my senses

 and I simply smile

 Sing to me; your voice is all I strain to hear

 Talk to me - for conversation keeps you near

 Kiss me gently, I will hold you

 'til the night train comes

Open hearts and zipped down jeans

our passion's stilted

 by the fear of being caught

Or fear of growing close

 and never letting go

 I crossed your lines

Throw words around

 and skirt around the ones that matter

Decide it isn't time,

Not now, not yet

But you don't leave

You don't leave

Well please don't leave

Sing to me; your voice is all I strain to hear

 Talk to me - for conversation keeps you near

 Kiss me gently, I will hold you

 'til the night train comes

And all this waiting

 All this suppression

I don't know what it's doing to you

But it's killing me

And when the night train comes

 we're still talking about us

 and when you realise

you quickly take your leave

At the bus stop we are silent

we barely touch

 But inwardly I'm crying out

As the bus comes round the corner

 We make fleeting goodbyes

 and with a kiss you're gone

until the next time

And I'm left hoping

I'm left hoping

Hoping I'll see you again

Sing to me; your voice is all I strain to hear

 Talk to me - for conversation keeps you near

 Kiss me gently, I will hold you

 'til the night train comes
