Verse 1:
D A Bm G
Remember the night the soul band blasted
D E A
Nothing in the world that one could say
D A Bm G
There I first felt your touch, as your eyes cut right through me
D A G-G-G- D
And I knew that I would know you someday
Verse 2:
Well I said what I meant in that hobo jungle
Still have you believe that it was true
Though I knew, as you knew, that I knew I needed you
But I never could reveal myself to you
Chorus:
A G D
You knew from the very first day
A G D
I never intended to stay
G D
I don't know what I could say
E A
I was just running away
Verse 3:
Well it didn't end so much the way that it began
In the honky tonk Bar-B-Q and Foam
Crystal shattered there 'neath the chill of springtime stars
And I noticed you weren't there when I got home
Chorus:
I just can't blame you at all
I've been on both sides of that wall
Just one thing before you say so long
I never meant to do you any wrong
Verse 4:
I still think about the time we had together
Never could mean more than what it means
Thank you for helping me though all that rough weather
I don't you'll be around, sunshine turning...
