Sharon Springs

Em
You’ve been running in between the days
D Cadd9
The way a man would dodge a drop of rain
Em
Climbing up the walls
D Cadd9
of all the things you knew time would never change
Em
You hope the wind can blow you where
D Cadd9
The map would always show you seldom farther off the page
Em
Only I knew that you were lying
D Cadd9
Denying that it ever called your name
Chorus 1:
G D
When midnight sinks over Sharon Springs
Em Cadd9
And I find myself alone
G D
I wonder, my brother
Em D Cadd9
if you will ever find a home
I went off to college
You left Wallace County for the coast of Maine
You wrote of wild oats and fishin boats
And newly found cocaine
On a post card sent from Maryland
Said you had to start again to ditch the law
And I knew you were never scared
of taking leaps from the distance of the falls
Chorus 2:
When midnight sinks over Sharon Springs
And I find myself alone
I wonder, my brother
If you will ever find a home, if you will ever find a home.
I saw you in Baltimore
Before you knew that I had come to town
Three sheets to the wind and
Where you’d been was still the talk of our hometown
You thought I wouldn’t notice
When you offered your hello I can’t believe my eyes
We talked for a minute settled for a so long and goodbye
Chorus 2
