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
