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
