Lyrics

You al ways had the (G)gift of speed.

You’d dis ap pear with (G)out a trace.

It all de pend ed on the need

and on the pain you (G)could not face.

So, you would leave the home you’d found,

I no ticed pack it up with out (G)noth de lay.

I Cut your loss es, blow that town,

and to mor row was an (G)oth er day.

Roll All the years and all the miles,

it’s so hard may be you lost (Fmaj9)track of time.

I you look back now tles, on ly (G)once in a while; my the (C)mem ’ry just wants to (F)blur the lines.

’Cause you know tle me,

and I (G)just can’t for a change.

I I (Am11)greet

the sun

and (Fmaj9)find

it strange

to (C)watch you run

for the shel ter of (G)storms,

for the shel ter of (C)storms.

Now where are you out (G)in the world,

You’d search ing for a (G)lit tle grace,

It search ing for a pre cious pearl,

and wis dom from some (G)fu ture place?

You let me go with out a wave,

I no ticed that it up and out (G)noth ing more.

I guess I’m go ing to my grave

and to won d’ring what it (G)all was for.

Roll All the years and all the miles, and see what’s may be keep ing (Fmaj9)track of time.

Do you think of me tles, ev ’ry (G)once in a while, when the (C)rain lets up and the (F)sun can shine?

Just a lit ter piece

and qui (G)you et for a change.

I still (Am11)greet

the sun

and (Fmaj9)find

it strange

to (C)watch you run

for the shel ter of (G)storms,

for the shel ter of (C)storms.

(Am)storms.

(C)storms.
