Intro: C B Am G F C C 

verse 1 

           C             B           Am        G 
I finished writing this song in the summer 
         F                        C 
Now I'm watching the snow flakes fall 
        C        B      Am      G 
As the years go by I wonder if I 
        F               G 
Really like it here at all 
   C                     C7                    
I woke this morning in a strange town 
     F                         Dm 
The truth is I thought I'd be dead by now 
          C           G               Am      G 
I guess I'll keep on going till they find me out 
     F       G       C 
With love from Halcyon 

verse 2 

         C       B         Am       G 
And I'm glad I stayed out drinking 
         F               C 
Put some medicine in my mind 
   C           B          Am        G 
To distract me from this grain of sand 
       F                       G 
In the middle of space and of time 
     C                  C7 
This morning my head is losing the war 
      F                  Dm 
It's cold outside as I walk out the door 
     C         G               Am         G 
And I get the feeling this has happened before 
     F     G     C 
With love from Halcyon 


[Refrão]
          F            C 
And I can feel myself disappearing 
       Am     G      F 
In the early morning sun 
      Am             G        F 
And I fade with the road I'm walking on 
      Am       G      C 
With love from Halcyon 

verse 3 

          C             B       Am        G 
As the morning breaks over Southampton 
         F                        C 
I'm wondering how long and how far 
        C        B      Am      G 
Still thinking about that old friend 
       F                       G 
As the waitress trips on my guitar 
     C                  C7 
See he stopped singing songs and he moved away 
               F                  Dm 
Heard he's picking apples down near Rattlesnake bay 
         C         G             Am       G 
I can picture him now singing "Lowlands away" 
     F     G     C 
With love from Halcyon 

     C       B     Am        G 
I remember early evening 
            F             C 
First time summer showed her face 
     C     B          Am        G 
We sat outside with a GB and wine 
       F                       G 
Talking about the good old days 
          C                   C7 
When we woke up in Paris all covered in dust 
         F                        Dm 
And the man on the boat pulled a knife on us 
     C         G        Am         G 
If time is money then money isn't much 
      F       G      C 
With love from Halcyon 


[Refrão]
          F         C 
And I can feel us disappearing 
       Am     G      F 
In the early morning sun 
      Am          G        F      C 
For we were just dead men walking 
      Am       G      C 
With love from Halcyon 

       C         B               Am        G 
Well many years gone I've been travelling on 
         F                        C 
Searching across this land 
        C        B                Am         G 
Now I don't know what I've been looking for yet 
       F                       G 
Hope someday I'll understand 
            C                     C7 
I'm just a copy of a copy my own version of time, 
      F                          Dm 
I'll never see yours and you'll never see mine 
              C             G           Am           G 
But we still see the same sunsets and walk the same lines 
      F       G      C 
With love from Halcyon 

           C             B        Am        G 
Started writing this song in the winter, 
         F                        C 
Now I'm watching the spring blossom fall 
        C        B                    Am           G 
Tell me how can the difference between hours and years 
          F                   G 
Feel so endless and yet so small 
     C                  C7 
I left that house about 4 this morning 
      F                      Dm 
And I got a feeling they'll carry on going 
            C              G               Am          G 
Till the cigarettes freeze over and the whisky stops flowing 
            F                 G      
They'll be singing "Lowlands away" 

        F              G 
And if Halcyon is the days gone by 
     C         B           Am 
And she is the one that I love 
        F                         G 
And if now is the place that I'm supposed to be 
        Am     G    F 
Then it isn't long enough 

      F                     G 
For someday soon I'll be a photograph 
       C       B          Am 
Underneath my grandson's bed 
     Dm 
But I heard there's 
   G  
A universe somewhere 
            C 
WHere this song 
        B 
Wasn't written 
Am      G 
Yet 


[Refrão]
          F            C 
So if you feel yourself disappearing 
       Am     G      F 
In the early morning sun 
      Am             G        F 
Just smile and keep on walking 
      Am       G      C 
With love from Halcyon 
      Am       G        C 
With love from Halzephron
