[A]Once upon a time I stalked the [A]streets on raining evenings
When the [Dmaj7/9]distant sea blended with the sk[A]y[A/G]
Past [A]Coliseums filled with brass on [A]pavements carved from toasted glass
I [Dmaj7/9]carried in my heart a word or t[A]wo
Your [F#7sus4]dashing horseman all gone away
Left [Dmaj7]you the stable bill to pay
And [F#7sus4]now the golden calf has turned to [Dmaj7]clay
[F#7sus4]All my feelings dressed in gloves
Couldn't [Dmaj7]touch your windswept harbour love
[F#7sus4]White and open-necked you would still [Dmaj7]play
[A]I'd resort to sleepwalking to [A]catch the mood that fills the sails
With [Dmaj7/9]harvest nets and tides don't ever br[A]ing[A/G]
But [A]every night was Halloween, and [Dmaj7/9]every friend fell in between
And [Dmaj7/9]how capricious nature ruled my [A]mind
Your [F#7sus4]dashing horseman all gone away
Left [Dmaj7]you the stable bill to pay
And [F#7sus4]now the golden calf has turned to [Dmaj7]clay
[F#7sus4]All my feelings dressed in gloves
Couldn't [Dmaj7]touch your windswept harbour love
[F#7sus4]White and open-necked you would still [Dmaj7]play

[A]Once upon a time I stalked the [A]streets on raining evenings
When the [Dmaj7/9]distant sea blended with the sk[A]y[A/G]
My [A]mouth was full of cigarettes, my [Dmaj7/9]hair is full of long-term bets
But [Dmaj7/9]you would always make me see the da[A]y [A/G]
Your [F#7sus4]dashing horseman all gone away
Left [Dmaj7]you the stable bill to pay
And [F#7sus4]now the golden calf has turned to [Dmaj7]clay
[F#7sus4]All my feelings dressed in gloves
Couldn't [Dmaj7]touch your windswept harbour love
[F#7sus4]White and open-necked you would still [Dmaj7]play

[Dmaj7] I sound so different these days,[F#7sus4] I barely can beli[Dmaj7]eve I'm me
[F#7sus4] If I didn't know better, [Dmaj7] I would swear I was someone else
[F#7sus4] Lord I can't believe, [Dmaj7] I don't believe I'm me
[F#7sus4] But who on [Dmaj7]earth could I be?

[F#7sus4]White and open-necked you would still [Dmaj7]play, play, play, play ...
