  long,   gone        She gone,     gone,   bigger  come    larger

  hand,  'til no one understands    so long she'd  been gone...
                       why it was for 



CHORUS:
Chords:
Am x02210    G  320033
D  xx0232    A  x02220

      Am
And I stood very still by the window-sill
      D
And I wondered for those I love still
  G                        A
I cried in my mind where I stand behind
The beauty of those in her eyes


[repeat VERSE]


CHORUS:
      Am
And I borrowed a page from a leopard's cage
      D
And I prowled in the evening sun's glaze
    G                       A
Her head lifted high to the light in the sky
The opening dawn on her face
