Lately you've been traveling, more than you are here,
G F C
As your dreams describe a circle, growing year by year.
F G C Am
And the postcard that you sent from Vancouver or South Bend
F G
Recalls a friend too far away.

May the rain run off your shoulders when you're caught in a storm.
G F C
When the frost comes a callin', may it find you safe and warm.
F G C Am
May your place be set, may your promises be kept.
F G C
May you never forget that you are loved.
It was storming in Seattle when your car didn't start.
It was sunny in Salinas where you nearly broke your heart.
It was snowing in St. Paul but the people filled the halls.
And you sent them all home singing through the night.
(repeat chorus)
Night falls hard in a far away place.
Where you never knew the name, and you can't recall the face.
Your timing's off, you're tired, you can't imagine why they hired you,
We are there in the darkness by your side.
(repeat chorus)
