>In the morning light she wore my coat, and all I wanted to know
>D                                         A
>Was she trembling from the feeling or the cold
>A                                      F#m
>As the sleepy small town came to life, I saw the answer in her eyes

>    E                              D            A
>Now all that seems like yesterday, how the time slips away

>The blinding speed will leave you feeling cold
>   E                             D               A
>So when I feel the hands of time tugging at this life of mine

>A light still shines on Locust Street, somewhere back in time
>           D                               A
>And I wake up to the beat of her heart and mine
>    A                               F#m
>And I reach out and touch her hair, just to know that she's still there
