And we sleep the live long night
As part of the river we suffer together so far from the light
And we gaze the live long day
Into the waters of forgetfulness, yeah yeah yeah. yeah yeah yeah.

Tossed on the sea, still in a dream
Looks like a war, it’s not what it seems
Ruled by the moon, pulled by the tide
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

And we sleep the live long night
As part of the river we suffer together so far from the light
And we gaze the live long day
Into the waters of forgetfulness, yeah yeah yeah. yeah yeah yeah.

And we sleep the live long night
As part of the river we suffer together so far from the light
And we gaze the live long day
Into the waters of forgetfulness, yeah yeah yeah. yeah yeah yeah.

[Verse 1]
This silver bird takes me ‘cross the sky

Just one more hour and I’ll be home and dry
‘Cross the ocean, way above the clouds I come stealin’
Feelin’ tired, but I feel good ‘cause I did everything I said I would
I think of you, and I know how you’ll be feelin’

I gotta see you, I gotta [C#/F]be with you
[A/E] We’ll make it better now in [G/D]every way[G/D]
It’s gotta be you, it’s gotta[C#/F] be you

Yes from now on I’ll tell you every day

[Verse 2]

Way up here above this timeless sea

I realize just what it is you mean to me
You give me somethin’ when I thought that everything we had was dyin’
I need a reason just to make me carry on

Well I know better now, I know where I belong
I can’t imagine how I ever let myself just give up tryin’

I gotta see you, I gotta be[C#/F] with you
[A/E] We’ll make it better now in [G/D]every way[G/D]

You know I never ever take the long way ‘round

D-A-F#m-D-E-D la la la la la

shes so far away yeah shes in america
and the water is wide but i love you my love
its been so long now since we held one another
yuore stll a part of my drams youre so far away
remember each day its better this way

lets live the now forget about historie

now you know we cant live in the past

this is reality

got no control over the things that happen

and all the hurt that love can bring

youre so far away remember each day

its better this way

i remember all this times we went sailing on the moon
bm7 d e–
and love came down to see us ewerywhere
yes ewerywhere

now it all seems so wrong that we have to be apart

but tomorrow weel walk in the sun and ill love you my love

together we can write a different storie

that never comes to an end

youre so far away remember each day

its better this way

Looking at a new day, seeing in a new way
Living in the here and now, forget tomorrow
Looking at a new girl, living in a new world
I’m changing every little thing cause I’ve found something new.

I’m gonna make a new start, I’m gonna play a new part
Going down a different road, a new direction
Now I’ve got a new feel, now I’ve got a new deal
I’m telling everyone I know that I’ve found something new.

Standing alone with the beat of my heart
I don’t know if I’m losing or winning
Rescued by love and the angels above
I’m sensing a whole new beginning.

I’m looking at a new moon, listening to a new tune
I never thought I’d find such understanding
Now I’ve got a new love, that fits me like a new glove
I’m changing every little thing ‘cause I’ve found something new.

Standing alone with the beat of my heart
I don’t know if I’m losing or winning (I’m on the way)
Rescued by love and the angels above
I’m sensing a whole new beginning.

Bm A A E |2x

Something new…

Standing alone with the beat of my heart
I don’t know if I’m losing or winning (I’m on the way)
Rescued by love and the angels above
I’m sensing a whole new beginning.

Bm A A E (repeat and fade)

Big old moon and a sweet, starry night
Think I’ll go out walkin’
Wish I could change the way you’re feelin’ tonight
But I’m just tired of talkin’

You’re still givin’ me that same old line
Like a bird that keeps on squawkin’
Sometimes I wonder what goes on in your mind
I’m just tired of talkin’

Now little by little and bit by bit
The truth is slowly dawnin’
I love you honey but you just won’t quit
Let’s leave it til the mornin’

You lay the bait and I get caught in your trap
I’m the game you’re stalkin’
Let’s say good night and just leave it like that
I’m so tired of talkin’, yes I am

Solo: | A D A Em G A | 2x

Now little by little and bit by bit
The truth is slowly dawnin’
We’ve got a puzzle but the pieces don’t fit
Let’s leave it til the mornin’

Same old blues at the end of the night
But you’ve got to keep on rockin’
Turn up the music and turn out the light
I’m so tired of talkin’, yeah, yeah, yeah

Moonlight and gold
Midsummer magic when the night turns to day
And songbirds greet the dawn
You lie awake
You watch and wonder while the moon fades away
And one more day is born.

Tides keep on turning, while hearts keep on yearning
To be where they know they belong
All on a new day, you see in a new way
The things you’ve been leaning upon.

Moonlight and gold
I will awaken to a love that runs deeper
Than the need in me.

While you are sleeping, the new day comes creeping
And life keeps on passing you by
Magic unfolds when the blue meets the gold
And the sun comes to open your eyes.

Moonlight and gold
Midsummer magic when the night turns to day
And songbirds greet the dawn
You lie awake
You watch and wonder while the moon fades away
And one more day is born. Oh yeah

In a dance hall by the river, I was singing in a travelling band
Just another small town night, with a silver moon shining
I remember when I saw you, that first moment when it all began
You looked across a crowded room, and stole my heart away.
And we stood out in the moonlight, in the shadow of a factory wall
Music playing soft and low, and a gentle breeze sighing
And the light on the river was magic, yes a magic that I still recall
Moments come and moments go, but these moments still remain.

Remember how we met, down by the waterside
How easily we forget, all the love that we knew.

So we married our fortunes together, and we sealed it with a golden band
But somewhere down along the road, we could see the flame dying
Now an exiled heart gets weary, like two strangers in a foreign land
We reached the point of no return, a long long time ago.

Remember how we met, down by the waterside
How easily we forget, all the love we knew.

Now the night train is waitin’, to take me away,

And I'm still feelin' guilty 'cause you're wanted me to sta-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ay.

Well I know, how I know, it’s harder on you,
But then you said it yourself there’s nothing else we could do.

When the wheels start turnin’, takin’ me through the night,

Out there in the darkness there's a star shinin' bri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ght.

And it makes me feel better, just to see it up there,
Hope you’re thinkin’ about it, hope you know I still care.

So goodnight, yeah goodnight,
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.
So goodnight, yeah goodnight,
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.

Now I know you’ve been waiting, but I’ll be seeing you soon,

Meanwhile I just lay here and stare at the moo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-n.

And a light made of silver, through my window it creeps,
And the train keeps on rollin’ it just rocks me to sleep.

So goodnight, yeah goodnight,
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.
So goodnight, yeah goodnight,
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.

[Interlude]
verse chords

So goodnight, yeah goodnight,
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.
So goodnight, yeah goodnight,
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.

Now from city to city, it’s four hundred miles,

And I'm bound to wake up every once in a whi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-le.

And it’s then that I call out, to some higher power,
And then I’ll go back to sleep, ‘cause I’ll be home in an hour.

[Chorus 2]
(x2)
So goodnight, (goodnight) yeah goodnight, (goodnight)
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home. (goodnight)
So goodnight, (goodnight) yeah goodnight, (goodnight)
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home. (goodnight)

I’m going home (ooooh) tonight. [repeat & fade]

Wake up in the morning with the sunshine
Through my window and it’s making me rise
Wake up in the morning with the sunshine
Through my window and it’s filling my eyes
Wake up in the morning with the sunshine
Through my window you know it looks alright, it looks alright

I may be tired but I’m laughing
In everything I see the things that you do
I may be tired but I’m laughing
In everything and I see you laughing too
I may be tired but I’m laughing
In everything you know it feels alright, it’s alright.

I used to worry about just where I was going to
But today it is all clear.

Because the fog has lifted and I can see
Something better than I’ve seen before
Because the fog has lifted and I can see
Something better and it’s opened my door
Because the fog has lifted and I can see
Something better and it’s alright, It’s alright

I used to worry about just where I was going to
But today it is all clear.

I can feel something alive inside of me
Telling me where to put my feet
I can feel something alive inside of me
Telling me that it’s nearly complete
I can feel something alive inside of me
Telling me it’s gonna be alright, Alright

When we were young we used to sing
[-] And we could feel the har – mo – ny

How long have you been waitin’
To let your light shine

Many years have gone since then
[-] Seen us go our differ – rent ways

To – ni – ight we’re gonna sing out
To – night our light will [/] shine

This is the time and place [-][-]
To bring out our memo – ries [-]
It’s written on every face
I can see – ee it in you,
You can see – ee it in me [-]

In all the years we had
[-] As part of a family tree [-]
We knew the good and bad
I can see – ee it in you,
You can see – ee it in me [-]

I know it’s left its mark on you
[-] I see the same things in my – self
You know there’s nothin’ we can’t do
We’ve been a long time waitin’
But some things never die.

It’s time to leave all that behind
[-] It’s time to lay that ghost to rest
We can’t deny the ties that bind
To – night we’re gonna sing out
To – night our light will [/] shine

This is the time and place [-][-]
