CLately you've been traveling, more than you are here,
As your Gdreams describe a circle, Fgrowing year by Cyear.
And the Fpostcard that you Gsent from VanCcouver or South AmBend
ReFcalls a friend too far aGway.
        May the raiCn run off your shoulders when you're caught in a storm.
        When the Gfrost comes a callin', may it Ffind you safe and Cwarm.
        May your Fplace be Gset, may your Cpromises be Amkept.
        May you Fnever forGget that you are Cloved.
It was storming in Seattle when your car didn't start.
It was sunny in Salinas where you nearly broke your heart.
It was snowing in St. Paul but the people filled the halls.
And you sent them all home singing through the night.
        (repeat chorus)
Night falls hard in a far away place.
Where you never knew the name, and you can't recall the face.
Your timing's off, you're tired, you can't imagine why they hired you,
We are there in the darkness by your side.
        (repeat chorus)

Chords in this song · guitar

Lately you've been traveling, more than you are here,

G F C

As your dreams describe a circle, growing year by year.

F G C Am

And the postcard that you sent from Vancouver or South Bend

F G

Recalls a friend too far away.

May the rain run off your shoulders when you're caught in a storm.

G F C

When the frost comes a callin', may it find you safe and warm.

F G C Am

May your place be set, may your promises be kept.

F G C

May you never forget that you are loved.

It was storming in Seattle when your car didn't start.

It was sunny in Salinas where you nearly broke your heart.

It was snowing in St. Paul but the people filled the halls.

And you sent them all home singing through the night.

(repeat chorus)

Night falls hard in a far away place.

Where you never knew the name, and you can't recall the face.

Your timing's off, you're tired, you can't imagine why they hired you,

We are there in the darkness by your side.

(repeat chorus)
