G                               C
I will rustle your lashes loose after we have travelled;
         G                          D
Like the leaves from the trees when Autumn unravels
       G                          C
I will pinch them in my tips, and place them on my lips
G              D               G
Stoop down and kiss you on the cheek
     C
Sweetheart
G              D               G
Stoop down and kiss you on the cheek

    G                                  C
And every week I'll show you something else
    G                      D
To make you feel better about yourself
    G                C
The letters will fly over the sea
    G                D          G
And I will write you without poetry
     C
Sweetheart
G                D          G

I will write down the ways of your hearts and tongues
       G                                 D
I will write about the rain and that one day of Glasgow sun
G                    C
I've got forty years left in this skin
G                D                  G
When my plane arrives watch it roll in
     C
Sweetheart
G             D                     G
When my plane arrives watch it roll in
