(C69)Hur ry through the night,

past the shut tered hous es towards a (Am7)sol i tar y light

that burn ing in a win dow near a (F69)fig ure in a chair,

al ways sit ting there,

(C69)qui et as a prayer.

(C69)Does he close his eyes,

wea ry with the weight of be ing (Am7)sud den ly so wise?

that Ti red of the de mons he must (F69)sit up there and fight,

deep in to the night,

(C69)qui et as a prayer.

(C69)pray ing that he’s right.

Ev ’ry (Bb)eve ning I can (F)see his shad ow (G)on the (C)shade,
