Intro: D  Bm  F#m  A  (repeat) 
 
D         Bm    F#m     A 
Each time on my leaving home 
 
  D        Bm    F#m      A 
I run back to my mother's arms, 
 
D        Bm       F#m       A  D 
One last hold and then it's over. 
 
Watching me, you know I cry, 
You wave a kiss to say goodbye, 
Feel the sky fall down upon me! 
 
Gmaj7 F#m   Bm         C     G 
All I am, a child with promises 
 
Em7   F#m       Bm            C    G      A 
All I have, are miles full of promises of home. 
 
If only I could stay with you, 
My train moves on, you're gone from view, 
Now I must wait until it's over. 
 
Days will pass, your words to me, 
It seems so long; eternity, 
But I must wait until it's over.
