Intro: G#m9  
G#m9And when I see your sunlit eyes it G#m9/Eturns my laughter into G#m9stone
G#m9I wait a single hour before the G#m9/Elight unreal and G#m9alone
G#m9Summer's waxing in the air the G#m9/Emeadows stretch and onwards to Saint G#m9/C#James square Oh my mind's G#m9astray
G#m9I dream of you each fevered night the G#m9/Estars are cold and singing in an G#m9/C#august sky that breaks into the G#m9day
D#mAre you really in the C#lonely evening light
BThat falls in shadows to the G#m9ground
D#mAnd when I wake C#enchanted and alone
                             B  G#m9* -  E- C#m9  
I don't know where to turn my eyes
G#m9Summer's waxing in the air the G#m9/Emeadows stretch and onwards to Saint G#m9/C#James square Oh my mind's G#m9astray
G#m9An afternoon on Saturday beG#m9/Efore the stars can shine upon the sG#m9/C#treets of grey and you and I go G#m9home
G#m9And when I see your sunlit eyes it G#m9/Eturns my laughter into G#m9stone
G#m9I wait a single hour before the G#m9/Elight unreal and G#m9alone

I dream of you each fevered night the stars are cold and singing in an august sky that breaks into the day

Are you really in the lonely evening light
