C D G G

It was raining in the morning of November

C D G G

She was loading up the wagon in the rain

G D G G

Said she'd be back in the morning

G D G G

But she never came through here again

C D G G

I'd see her in the market

C D G G

She never had much to spend

G D G Em

These days the market's an old parking lot

G D G

And she never came through here again

B7 Em B7 Em B7 Em B7 Em Em Em Em

Time plays tricks on your memory

C D G G

Its been a long weekend

G D G G

She said she'd be back here by Monday

G D G G

But she never came through here again

C D G G

Some say a saucer landed

C D G G

And someone took her in

G D G Em

They found her blue seraph here on the ground

G D G

And she never came through here again.

C D G G

I bought a tabloid paper

C D G G

She was rumored to be in

G D G G

Was a photo of a woman on a llama

G D G G

But she never came through here again

C D G G

And if you should see her

C D G G

She may be old by then

G D G Em

Tell her that I miss her and ask her when

G D G

She's ever coming through here again
