INTRO
| C *Csus4 | *Csus4 | C *Csus4 | C |

C                           Bb/C
  The visions dancing in my mind 
                              Fm/C
The early dawn, the shades of time 
                             C     *Csus4
Twilight crawling through my windowpane 
C                    Bb/C
  Am I awake or do I dream? 
                              Fm/C
The strangest pictures I have seen 
                            C    *Csus4
Night is day and twilight's gone away


[LINK]         F                       G
     With your head held high and your scarlet lies 
         C                   F
You came down to me from the open skies 
    *G              G/F
It's either real or it's a dream 
        G/E             G/D
There's nothing that is in between...

C        C5+        F              Fm
Twilight,    I only meant to stay awhile 
Dm      Bb/F            G                G/B
Twilight,    I gave you time to steal my mind 
        | C *Csus4 | *Csus4 | C *Csus4 | *Csus4 |
Away from me   [INTRO]

C                              Bb/C
   Across the night I saw your face 
                          Fm/C
You disappeared without a trace 
                                 C      *Csus4
You brought me here, but can you take me back? 
C                           Bb/C
   Inside the image of your light 
                             Fm/C
That now is day and once was night 
                              C  *Csus4    [LINK]
You lead me here and then you go away.
