F
When I come home
Cm
You're just lying there
F
Face against the wall
Cm           D# C#maj7
Never had a care

                     F#
I am just a traveller
                            A#
There's no light in this room
                          F
And the body's aching at night

Chorus:
                  Cm
Would I be acting up
                     F  Cm D#
If i said it's not enough

                             C#maj7
Who knows who else who is with
                          F#
No one is with the traveller
                         A#
There's a light in my eyes
                          F Cm F Cm
And a future invisible now

Heard it's your birthday
Candles in a row
Better blow them quick
Before they're melting on the floor

You were never a traveller
There's no light in your room
And the bodies don't ache in the night

Chorus:
Would I be acting up
If I said not that much

Who else would do anything for the traveller
There's a light in her eyes
And a future visible touch

F                        Cm
I was looking out of the window at the sky
F                   Cm
Starless vigil of a life that has gone by
F                    Cm
Saturn turning and I feel there's not much more
F                   Cm
For a vision of the night turn off your light
