Chords

Follow A G pattern throughout

Falling from the western slopes
To find yourself alone again
Wondering where you have been
Your lonely voice
Calls across the star lit coast
Reaching out to be seen

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain

Scratch beneath the surface screen
Of what we say and what we seem
Is the truth to be seen
She's crying out your name
But her scream sounds the same
How fickle fate can be

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain

Birds which scream for territory
Can learn to sing euphorically
Given time that is real
There's a wasteland in his soul
The burned out trees will leave you cold
Living out this ideal

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain

She cries your name
Twelve times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain

1996 Version

Falling from the western slopes
To find yourself alone again
Wondering where you have been
Your lonely voice
Calls across the star lit coast
Reaching out to be seen

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain

Cut beneath the surface screen
Of what we say and what we seem
Is the truth to be seen
She keeps crying out your name
But her scream sounds the same
How fickle fate can be

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain

Birds which scream for territory
Can learn to sing euphorically
Given time that is real
And there's a wasteland in your soul
The burned out trees will leave you cold
Living out an ideal

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain

She cries your name
Twelve times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain
