London Conversation Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
In [D]a foreign [Dsus4]city once[D] again
You waved [G]weekly [D]in the night
The early sun of London morning
Burned the darkness with unanswered light
But [Dsus4]morn ing foun[G]d you cryi[D]ng
Wait[G]ing for a woman
[D]Where she left you [G]in an
[Dsus4]empty sta[D]te of mind
Waiting [A]not for [D]her [A]but for
[D]Re [G]lief from passing time
[D]

[Verse 2]
And a young friend talking softly
As the [Dsus4]mis t[D]
keep[G]s tumb[D]ling down
But the woman [Dsus4]wait
[D]ing for him near
Stayed and told you of the
[G]Peace that could be [D]found
And [Dsus4]a fallen heart
[G]was wok[D]en
In your [Dsus4]tired[G]
[Dsus4]waiting t[G]ime[D]
And you thought you
[G]might [D]begin again
[A]From all [G]the ashes of your [D]mind
And though he [G]used [D]no poetry
His [G]word[D] s [G]are weaving songs[D]
And the peace they were recalling
Were good roads that you
Might have walked along
And [Dsus4]the skies you [G]saw
[D]wer[Dsus4]e all the same[D]
Although his [G]words were [D]not your own
But the words and im[G]ages you've
[D]spoken[Dsus4][D]
Are the [A]ashes from a [G]peace

[Outro 1]
you'd never known
[D]
