Barclay James Harvest - Death Of City
Track #6, Turn of the Tide
I [[D]]look down the street but there's [[C]]no one there
In the [[G]]cold, in the dark, in the [[D]]night air
I [[D]]call out for life but my [[C]]heart feels despair
There's no [[C]]sign of a light in the [[D]]cold dismal night
The [[D]]lights have all gone the [[G]]clothes are all torn
The [[G]]people are gone but the [[D]]victory's won
I [[D]]call out for life but it's [[C]]after the day
Now the [[G]]people are gone just the [[D]]city alone
[[D]]Eyes [[D]]look from the second [[C]]floor
[[C]]Down to the street be[[G]]low
[[G]]Calm now the wind is [[D]]slow [[C]]
[[D]]See [[D]]posters once on the [[C]]wall
[[C]]Now washed away in the [[G]]rain
[[G]]Peeling from buildings [[D]]tall [[C]]
I'll [[D]]follow you friends to where [[C]]life never ends
Make our [[G]]mistakes again as our [[D]]life lines descend
[[D]]Time is like dust and the [[C]]dust is like snow
As it [[G]]covers the ruins of the [[G]]life that you know
[[D]]Trees [[D]]once green now turned to [[C]]stone
[[C]]Objects that look like [[G]]ghosts
[[G]]All of them over[[D]]grown [c]
[[D]]Mist [[D]]all sight and mind is [[C]]blurred
[[C]]Lie on your back and [[G]]cry
[[G]]Words uttered never [[D]]heard [[C]]
I [[D]]look down the street but there's [[C]]no one there
In the [[G]]cold, in the dark, in the [[D]]night air
I [[D]]call out for life but my [[C]]heart feels despair
There's no [[C]]sign of a light in the [[D]]cold dismal night
The [[D]]lights have all gone the [[G]]clothes are all torn
The [[G]]people are gone but the [[D]]victory's won
I [[D]]call out for life but it's [[C]]after the day
Now the [[G]]people are gone just the [[D]]city alone
