DO
Hello...you wanna cup of coffee?
REm
I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?
SOL
Ok you take cream and sugar?
DO
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
REm
In the company of has-beens
SOL
And bent-backs and sleeping forms
On pavement steps
DO
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
REm
In the pages of history
SOL
In suicidal cavalry attacks
DO SOL/SI LAm
I recognise...
FA SOL DO
Myself in every stranger's eyes
DO
And in wheelchairs by monuments
Under tube trains and commuter accidents
REm
In council care and county courts
SOL
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
DO
In drawing rooms and city morgues
In award winning photographs
Of life rafts in the China seas
REm
In transit camps, under arc lamps
On unloading ramps
SOL
In faces blurred by rubber stamps
DO SOL/SI LAm
I recognise...
FA SOL DO
Myself in every stranger's eyes
DO DO
And now from where I stand
REm SOL
Upon this hill I plundered from the pool
DO DO/MI
I look around, I search the skies
REm SOL
I shade my eyes, so nearly blind
DO DO/SI LAm
And I see signs of half remembered days
SOL FA DO/MI REm SOL
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
DO DO/SI LAm
I recogn-a-a-a-a-a-ise...
FA SOL DO
The hope you kindle in your eyes
It's oh so easy now
FA SOL
As we lie here in the dark
MIm
Nothing interferes it's obvious
LAm
How to beat the tears
REm
That threaten to snuff out
SOL DO
The spark of our love
