Intro CGFC 

C G 

the empty lounge, the / lights were on

F C

the open front door, / you were gone … 

C G

I imagine, now, you / being with me

F G C GC sfz

in the / way we / used to be

I thought you were the right / woman for me

come back to / me

you went away without a / word in my ear

no kiss, no / hug, no / farewell beer

I wait alone in the / afternoon air

the sofa, the bedroom, it’s / chilly in there

I cannot bear to / be alone

with teabag, / chips, / chicken bone

apartment now / empty, bare

half-used plate, / heart-broken chair

patterns on the tile / flooring rhyme

with colours / of our / autumn time

next to me / throughout the night

in quiet way / warm and tight

gentle fingers / touching me

kissing in / night-time / harmony

FG high C

on the floor, you’re the / reigning queen 

of the silky pink lipstick / dance routine

your willow body in the / disco air

champagne, / tank-top, / long brown hair

FG high C

by Ysgyryd Fach, we / take a walk

hear the breeze, the / flowers talk

the roar of the track, the / whistle cry

watching the / Hereford / train come by

the loneliness of the / night time here 

thoughts of you now / reappear

I think again why we / went awry

another / empty / night goes by

FG high C

Ending

no kiss, no / hug, no / farewell beer

kissing in / night-time / harmony

why won’t / you come / back to me?

another / empty / night goes by 

GC/FG/high C

E G E G, E, G, E, 1 beat each

I gaze at the ten am / unmoving / air,

E G E G, E, G, E

the piano, a rough and raw / riff or / two,

G GI7 G GI7, G, GI7, GI7

trying to get yet another / morning / through

G GI7 G GI7, G, GI7, G

to a place where warm colours / once / grew,

E Am F E, Am

me / here, / in the / empty / air

I gaze at the one pm / unmoving / air,

pour out a mug of / Jasmine / tea,

the overbearing boredom is / getting to / me,

the wet coat of high gloss // monotony,

me / here, / in the / empty / air.

I gaze at the four pm / unmoving / air,

then try to get my thinking / into / gear,

with no one else to / talk to / here,

looking with pleasure to my / evening / beer,

me / here, / in the / empty / air.

I gaze at the sunset / unmoving / air,

the garden going an / orange / hue,

the bird choir stop, / as if on / cue,

the tree, hedge, grass go / quiet, / too.

me / here, / in the / empty / air.

Am GI7 C

Me now, I’m / out of / here

G F E

gazing at the / unmoving / air

Am GI7 C

the soft lamp table, / ice cold / beer

G F E

the piano keyboard, / alone and / bare

EE/AmAm/FF/EE/Am

Me now, I’m / out of / here 

gazing at that / other / time

the empty car, / the farewell / tear

a breaking / rhythm, a tiring / rhyme

Me now, I’m / out of / here 

gazing at your / face / again

backpack, handphone / passport / near

the runway lights, the / goodbye / rain
