Am6                                B4           B
Walking across the sitting-room , I turn the television off. 
Bm                           F#sus4  F#
Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes. 
Am6                        B4           B
As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time, 
  D#m/A#                F/A   
I swear I saw your face change,

Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies. 
Bm                                F#sus4  F#

Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright, 
Am6                      B4              B
Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly. 
    D#m/A#           F/A  
The seventh walks in front 
    Bb
with a cross held high in hand. 


            Eb/Bb Bb      Adim                   Bb
...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you. 
Eb     Bb/F            Adim              Gm
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true. 


Gm           Gm7
I've been so far from here, 
Gm7           Gm6
Far from your warm arms. 
                    G D G D
It's good to feel you again,

It's been a long long time.
