The gate was closing, the sun was folding
A D A
Her hand was waving me good-bye
E D E D Bm
My door held open, my shadow broken
A D A A A/G#
Her voice returned a short reply
F#m Bm
Remember me to the highway signs
F#m Bm
The colored lights and the highway lines
E Bm
Remember me to my friends so kind
D A D A
Tell them I am fine

E D E D Bm
The night had fallen, the moon was calling
A D A A A/G#
A whippoorwill sang out it's song
F#m Bm
There is no need for you to go
F#m Bm
Like the seeds the wind would blow
E Bm
It is best now that the time moves slow
D A D A
You know someday she'll know
----------------------------------------------------------------
G F#m
But today is nearly over
Bm E
It's nearly over now, it's nearly gone
G F#m
And tomorrow doesn't matter now
Bm E
'Cause nothing matters now, except the dawn

E D E D Bm
The gate left open, the sun had woken
A D A
The dew left footprints to my door
E D E D Bm
She walked in slowly, her image holy
A D A A A/G#
She knelt beside me on the floor
F#m Bm
I remembered you to the highway signs
F#m Bm
The colored lights and the highway lines
E Bm
I said hello to your friends so kind
D A D A
And told them you were fine
----------------------------------------------------------------
G F#m
But today is nearly over now
Bm E
It's nearly over now, it's nearly gone
G F#m
And tomorrow doesn't matter now
Bm E
'Cause nothing matters now, except the dawn
