G                            D
Pale snow white with cherry lips 
     
Your taste will linger 
          C     
like the last time 
G       
The shadows 'neath your eyes 
      D
hide under thick black lines 
             C
that draw me in 

G                     D
I'm alive in broken moments
 
but mostly living for the 
C
sparkling gold that flecks 
     G                       
the ocean of your eyes 
C
Those shining promises 
D
Relieve me of my senses 
       C
and I simply smile 


 G       C   D                             G
Sing to me; your voice is all I strain to hear 
        C     D                          G
Talk to me - for conversation keeps you near 
         D 
Kiss me gently, I will hold you 
                      C
'til the night train comes 


G                            D
Open hearts and zipped down jeans 

our passion's stilted 
        C
by the fear of being caught 
G
Or fear of growing close 
     D
and never letting go 
   C
I crossed your lines 


G
Throw words around 
     D
and skirt around the ones that matter 
C
Decide it isn't time, 
G        D
Not now, not yet 
G
But you don't leave 
D
You don't leave 
C
Well please don't leave 


G       C    D                            G
Sing to me; your voice is all I strain to hear 
         C   D                          G
Talk to me - for conversation keeps you near 
         D 
Kiss me gently, I will hold you 
                      C
'til the night train comes


D
And all this waiting 
             C
All this suppression 
G
I don't know what it's doing to you 
D
But it's killing me 


G
And when the night train comes 
              D
we're still talking about us 
              C
and when you realise 

you quickly take your leave 
G
At the bus stop we are silent 
D
we barely touch 
      C
But inwardly I'm crying out 
G
As the bus comes round the corner 
         D
We make fleeting goodbyes 
            C
and with a kiss you're gone 
G
until the next time 

And I'm left hoping 
D
I'm left hoping 
C
Hoping I'll see you again 


G       C    D                            G
Sing to me; your voice is all I strain to hear 
        C     D                          G
Talk to me - for conversation keeps you near 
           D 
Kiss me gently, I will hold you 
                      G
'til the night train comes
