[ Предположительная тональность: Am ] [Verse] Am G Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed Dm Am Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams Am G In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed Dm Am To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams [Chorus] Am I and I G Dm Am In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives Am I and I G Dm Am One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives [Verse] Am G Think I'll go out and go for a walk Dm Am Not much happening here, nothing ever does Am G Besides, if she wakes up now, she'll just want me to talk Dm Am I got nothing to say, 'specially about whatever it was [Chorus] Am I and I G Dm Am In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives Am I and I G Dm Am One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives [Verse] Am G Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don't win the race Dm Am It goes to the worthy, who can define the word of truth Am G Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face Dm Am And see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth [Chorus] Am I and I G Dm Am In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives Am I and I G Dm Am One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives [Verse] Am G Outside of two men on a train platform there's nobody in sight Dm Am They're waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track Am G The world could come to an end tonight, but that's all right Dm Am She should still be there sleeping when I get back [Chorus] Am I and I G Dm Am In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives Am I and I G Dm Am One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives [Verse] Am G Noontime, and I'm still pushing myself along the road, the darkest part Dm Am Into the narrow lanes, I can't stumble or stay put Am Someone else is speaking with my mouth, but I'm listening with my heart Dm Am I've made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot [Chorus] Am I and I G Dm Am In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives Am I and I G Dm Am One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
