G C/G G
Been so many days of longing now
Em B
Why should it ever be this far
Am
Where I get frightened
C/G* B C/G* B
I could never gather birds enough to carry ’round your heart
G C/G G
But I see traces of your thoughts out here
Em B
I see a sight; I hear a sound
Am C/G* B C/G* B
I only comfort in the brittleness of days when I can hold what I just found
C/G* G B* Em
In the untired eyes of the laughing child
C/G G B*
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
C/G* G
Early, sun-warmed pine
B* Em
And all those life-like sins
C/G G B*
That will pull out the memories to show
B
I’m not leavin’ alone
C/G* B G (intro)
I’m not leavin’ alone
If just that weather-beatin’ plane was here
Haven’t seen it since I came
Can only wonder if it’s near or in the skies
When this damn city sounds the same
And sometimes I’m just a tangle in this trampled wheat
Shirk a-like a losing dog
If just tonight that I could be where you are near
And just forget where I am lost
In the untired eyes of the laughing child
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
Early, sun-warmed pine
And all those life-like sins
That will pull out the memories to show
I’m not leavin’ alone
I’m not leavin’ alone
