[Intro] 
D  Bm  F#m  A  (repeat)
 
D         Bm    F#m     A
Each time on my leaving home
 
  D        Bm    F#m      A
I run back to my mother's arms,
 
D        Bm       F#m       A  D
One last hold and then it's over.
 
Watching me, you know I cry,
You wave a kiss to say goodbye,
Feel the sky fall down upon me!
 
Gmaj7 F#m   Bm         C     G
All I am, a child with promises
 
Em7   F#m       Bm            C    G      A
All I have, are miles full of promises of home.
 
If only I could stay with you,
My train moves on, you're gone from view,
Now I must wait until it's over.
 
Days will pass, your words to me,
It seems so long; eternity,
But I must wait until it's over.
