Em C/G Em
It was so late and she?d be sleeping
D/F#
He came through her home town
C/G
With the moonlight on the crossroads
G C/G G
And the green light shining down
Em C/G Em
And the bell at the railroad crossing
D/F#
And the horn from far away
C/G
And his Silver Eagle passing
(G)
Half a mile from where she lay

Em C/G Em
At his feet a sea of faces
D/F#
Make devotions with their love
C/G CMaj7/G C/G
Clap their hands and plead their cases
G
Call for blessings from above
Em C/G Em
Like the rolling waves forever massing
D/F#
To crash and foam and creep away
C/G
And the Silver Eagle passing
(G)
Half a mile from where she lay

Em C/G Em
Road signs flow into the headlights
D/F#
Whisper names and fall behind
C/G CMaj7/G
He finds some honor in the darkness
G
Hopes for grace and peace of mind
Em C/G Em
And he thinks of how they?d lay together
D/F#
He?d run his fingers through her hair
C/G
And he wonders if she?ll ever
(G)
Come to know that he was there
