Intro:
Db B
F#m B
Ribbon of the river by my side
F# Bm B
I walk the shore and watch it unwind
F# B
The railway tracks still leave a glimpse of the light
F#m Bm
From the train, trailing sparks of gold behind
F#m Dbm B
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone
D Dbm F#m A B
And as soon as you've seen it it's gone
D F#m
Secrets of the city
D A
Make an aching in my heart
D F#m
And the mysteries that tease me so
D Dbm A B
I long to belong but I always have to go
F#m B
People stare and wonder why I stray
F#m B
They don't understand that wandering's my way
F# B
I'll never stop, though time's slipping away
F#m B
The elusive light, shining strange on my face
D Dbm B
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone
D Dbm B
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone
D F#m
Secrets of the city
D A
Make an aching in my heart
D F#m
And the mysteries that tease me so
A E B
I long to belong, but I always have to go
D E Bm
Hope ties me up with discontent
D Dbm Bm
Since the day I first went
F#m Dbm Bm
Yearning to be back again
D E Bm
How will I return, and when?
D F#m
Secrets of the city
D A
Make an aching in heart
D F#m
And the mysteries that tease me so
D Dbm E B
I long to belong but I always have to go
