Verse 1
G
Darkness comes up quicker every night, now
Em
Lest I forget this world is turning
C Am
To be a little darker every day takes me further from
Em
The faces and the places and the hands that I hold dear.
Verse 2
In the gold light of September they were waving like the leaves.
But I just turned and drove away.
The day that I left home was the coldest of that year
And that shaking, it has stayed
(finger pick)
C C Am Am Em Em Em Em
(pause)
Verse 3
So, I'm praying for some warmth from a lonely cigarette
A kind of light in this great dark
But the filter comes too soon, in this terrible room
I try to sleep away the days
Chorus 1
Am Em G G
'Cause in my dreams my friends all sing to me
A song I know will never end
They sing they've not forgotten what we hoped to be
They have not forgotten me; they know I will never forget them.
Am Em Em Em x2
Verse 4
I called my brother; to say I could not speak
He said, "I know just what you mean.
For every word that you might learn there's a stone that will inter
Another day gone by without you."
C C Am Am Em Em Em Em
(pause)
Chorus 2
But, in my dreams...
Am Em Em Em x2
Am Em
