Is this the train Dto Desert Moon
was Bmall she said.
But I Gknew I'd heard that 
Astranger's voice beforDe.
DI turned to look into her eyes, 
Bmbut she moved away.
She was sEmtanding in the rain.
Trying Chard to speak my name.
They say fiBmrst love Anever runs dGry.
DThe waiter poured our memories 
into Bmtiny cups.
We sGtumbled over 
Awords we longed to heDar.
DWe talked about the dreams we'd lost, 
or Bmgiven up.
When the Emwhistle caught the night.
And shook Csilence from our lives.
As the Bmlast train 
Arolled toward the Gmoon.
DThose summer nights.When we were young.
We bragged of things, We'd never done.
We were Gdreamers, 
only dreAamers.
DAnd in our haste, to grow too soon,
We left our innocence on Desert Moon.
GWe were dreamers, only dAreamers.
On Desert MGoon.
On Desert MDoon.
On Desert MGoon.
Desert DMoon.
F  A
D Bm G A
D Bm G A
DI still can hear the whisper 
of the sBmummer nights.
It eGchoes in the 
Acorners of my heDart.
DThe night we stood and 
waited for the dBmesert train.
All the Emwords we meant to say.
All the Cchances swept away.
Still remaiBmn on the Aroad to the Gdune.
Those summeDr nights, 
when we were young.
We bragged of things 
we'd never done.
We were Gdreamers, 
only dAreamers.
DMoments pass, 
and time moves on.
But dreams remain 
for just as long,
As there's Gdreamers.
All the Adreamers.
On Desert GMoon.
On Desert MDoon.
On Desert MGoon.

[Intro]

D Bm G A

D Bm G

...A

D D D D

Is this the train to Desert Moon

was all she said.

But I knew I'd heard that

A D

stranger's voice before.

I turned to look into her eyes,

but she moved away.

She was standing in the rain.

Trying hard to speak my name.

Bm A G

They say first love never runs dry.

The waiter poured our memories

into tiny cups.

We stumbled over

A D

words we longed to hear.

We talked about the dreams we'd lost,

or given up.

When the whistle caught the night.

And shook silence from our lives.

As the last train

A G

rolled toward the moon.

Those summer nights.When we were young.

We bragged of things, We'd never done.

We were dreamers,

only dreamers.

And in our haste, to grow too soon,

We left our innocence on Desert Moon.

G A

We were dreamers, only dreamers.

On Desert Moon.

Desert Moon.

F A

D Bm G A

I still can hear the whisper

of the summer nights.

It echoes in the

A D

corners of my heart.

The night we stood and

waited for the desert train.

All the words we meant to say.

All the chances swept away.

Bm A G

Still remain on the road to the dune.

Those summer nights,

when we were young.

We bragged of things

we'd never done.

We were dreamers,

only dreamers.

Moments pass,

and time moves on.

But dreams remain

for just as long,

As there's dreamers.

All the dreamers.

On Desert Moon.

Desert Moon
