Before Those Winter Nights
- David Elias 1/1/04, 6:52 pm

4/4 – strong medium (tune low E to D)

Verse: Dm | Bb Bb C C
Dm | C C C C

four a.m. in the morning
my eyes are open as my mind is closing
city of the golden bridges doesn't
bring me any closer to my resting place
i can always stop for coffee
god knows i need the caffeine
in a blink i can become my witness
witness this you are forever

five-thirty can it be that early
i miss the days that i slept in daylight
always running on an empty track
always tryin to make it through an open door
can i keep up with the landscape
can i rush ahead and never look back
warm my hands beside the engine
i better try to find some gloves with fingers

did she say something i missed
did i really look the other way now
i never could remember dates and first names
but i can't forget those days of autumn
joseph's coat is getting old now
someone else had better rake him over
i better try to get some sunlight
before those winter nights begin to roll me under
C C C C
before those winter nights begin to roll me
C C C C
before those winter nights begin to
C C C C
before those winter nights
