                       D#
In the coldest time of year
                       Cm
Darkness all around my heart
                        D#
I was alone but didn't fear
                  Cm           G#
To wander in the light of stars
                          D#
In the bright and silent night
                           Cm
Winds would knock and disappear
                          Gm
Still I felt the feeling near
                             G#       A#
Like the first time you were ever here

Chorus:
       D#                      A#
You're so far away, so far away
                                    Cm
You left me, you told me you would stay
                    G#
You never said goodbye
                      D#
And I keep wondering why
                     A#
I keep on wondering how
                 Cm A#
Oh come unto me now

I have breathed the morning air
I have heard the four winds blow
I was weary but prepared
To follow down this lonely road
In the room where lovers sleep
Winds would knock and disappear
Still I felt the music near
Like the first time we were ever here

Chorus:
        D#                      A#
You're so far away, so far away
                                   Cm
You left me, you told me you would stay
                   G#
You never said goodbye
                      D#
And I keep wondering why
                     A#
I keep on wondering how
                 Cm
Oh come on to me now
                     A#
I keep on wondering how

       D#                      A#
You're so far away, so far away
                                    Cm
You left me, you told me you would stay
                   G#
You never said goodbye
                     D#
And I keep wondering why
                     A#
I keep on wondering how
                  Cm
Oh come inside me now
                     A#
I keep on wondering how
                  Gm G# A#
Oh come inside me now
