(open strings)

F       C                   G

I count the hours, you count the days together,

F                                   G          F //////

we count the minutes in this passion play.

F        C                   G

Walk dusty miles, and I ride that train,

F             C                  G               F //////

on a first class ticket, just to be with you again.

(Chorus)

D     G     D                    G

Picking up tired feet, back from a far horizon,

D          G       D                          C

Cleaned up and brushed down, dressed to look the part.

D                        G           D                 G

Fresh from God's garden, I bring a gift of roses

D                            G             D

C

to stand in sweet spring water and press them to your heart.

F       C       G

Like the Kipling cat, I walk alone,

F       C                  G              F

never inviting trouble, never casting the stone.

C           G

But this badge of honour is of tarnished tin,

F         C             G                    F

light your guiding beacon to bring this fisher in.

(Chorus)
