Dm7               A#
Some came down to hang out by the river
Am7                    Dm7
Others were waiting to find the night
                   A#
We stood long just waiting for the picture
Am7                  Dm7
Looking at people to see what was right

Chorus:
A#maj7
Soon came the people
     Am7
From over in the valley
A#maj7
Hundreds of them walking
  Am7
Towards us in the rain
     A#maj7
Then we turned around
    Am7
And hid out in the alley
A#maj7
Met along the stones
       Am7
Down Tomorrow Day Lane

Take away the road and no one will remember
How many journeys we hedged in the stone
Friends around will take away the wonder
Sharing a moment of being alone

Chorus:
Soon came the people
From over in the valley
Hundreds of them walking
Towards us in the rain
And we turned around
And hid out in the alley
Met along the stones
Down Tomorrow Day Lane
