Capo 5th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
You were waiting by the river,Your coat was soaking wet,
And as your arms began to shiver,Your mind began to fret.
Closer came the winter that would take your breath away,
Closer came the bitter cold that would keep your mind awake,

And as, Time began to wander, You stood there for a while
And as, Your heart grew fonder, He took away your smile,
Kicking stones, between your shoes, You whistled not a note
Time spend disecting, Every song he'd ever wrote
And now your, hair is saturated
And your heart has been invaded,
And now you join the line,
Of those who, didn't make their move in time

Wont you come home and sleep, Your mother's getting worried,
and it's just a trip across the sea, in a ship thats worthy of floating,
You and me, Back to where we can sleep.
Your daddy was a sinner, Because your mother she dreamt of
gold,
But no one was a winner, When it broke apart your home
Your eyes they learnt to see things, A child's mind should never
bear,
But you couldn't stop listening, To what you shouldn't hear.
Wont you come home and sleep, Your mother's getting worried,
and it's just a trip across the sea, in a ship thats worthy of floating,
You and me, Back to where we can sleep.
