*Intro

F#m11      |Dmaj9|

F#m11  |Dmaj9|

A   |A   |A    |A-G  |

A                              A

Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings

        Dmaj9                          |A|A-G|

When the distant sea blended with the sky

A                               Dmaj9

Past Coliseum's filled with brass on pavements carved from toasted glass

                                 A

I carried in my heart a word or two

*Chorus

F#m11

You dashing horseman all gone away

Dmaj9

Left you a stable bill to pay

F#m11                                  Dmaj9

And now the golden calf has turned to clay

F#m11

All my feelings dressed in gloves

Dmaj9

Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love

F#m11                                  Dmaj9

White and open-necked you would still play

A                             A

I'd resort to sleepwalking to catch the mood that fills the sails

    Dmaj9                                 |A|A-G|

With harvest nets and tides don't ever bring

A                                  Dmaj9

But every night was Halloween, and every friend fell in between

                                   A

And how capricious nature ruled my mind

*Chorus

F#m11)

You dashing horseman all gone away

Dmaj9

Left you a stable bill to pay

F#m11                                  Dmaj9

And now the golden calf has turned to clay

F#m11

All my feelings dressed in gloves

Dmaj9

Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love

F#m11                                  Dmaj9

White and open-necked you would still play

           I sound so different these days,

F#m11                 Dmaj9

I barely can believe I'm here

F#m11                     Dmaj9

If I didn't know better, I would swear I was someone else

F#m11                  Dmaj9

Lord I can't believe, I don't believe I'm me

F#m11       Dmaj9         

But who on earth could I be ?
