A A
Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings
Dmaj7/9 A A/G
When the distant sea blended with the sky
A A
Past Coliseums filled with brass on pavements carved from toasted glass
Dmaj7/9 A
I carried in my heart a word or two
F#7sus4
Your dashing horseman all gone away
Dmaj7
Left you the stable bill to pay
F#7sus4 Dmaj7
And now the golden calf has turned to clay
F#7sus4
All my feelings dressed in gloves
Dmaj7
Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love
F#7sus4 Dmaj7
White and open-necked you would still play
A A
I'd resort to sleepwalking to catch the mood that fills the sails
Dmaj7/9 A A/G
With harvest nets and tides don't ever bring
A Dmaj7/9
But every night was Halloween, and every friend fell in between
Dmaj7/9 A
And how capricious nature ruled my mind
F#7sus4
Your dashing horseman all gone away
Dmaj7
Left you the stable bill to pay
F#7sus4 Dmaj7
And now the golden calf has turned to clay
F#7sus4
All my feelings dressed in gloves
Dmaj7
Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love
F#7sus4 Dmaj7
White and open-necked you would still play

When the distant sea blended with the sky
A Dmaj7/9
My mouth was full of cigarettes, my hair is full of long-term bets
Dmaj7/9 A A/G
But you would always make me see the day

Your dashing horseman all gone away

Left you the stable bill to pay

I sound so different these days, I barely can believe I'm me
F#7sus4 Dmaj7
If I didn't know better, I would swear I was someone else
F#7sus4 Dmaj7
Lord I can't believe, I don't believe I'm me
F#7sus4 Dmaj7
But who on earth could I be?
