It was so late and she’d be sleeping
                     D/F#
He came through her home town
                            C/G
With the moonlight on the crossroads
                             G
And the green light shining down
         Em                    C/G     Em
And the bell at the railroad crossing
                   D/F#
And the horn from far away
                      C/G
And his Silver Eagle passing
                           (G)
Half a mile from where she lay

        Em            C/G   Em
At his feet a sea of faces
                           D/F#
Make devotions with their love
                                  C/G   CMaj7/G  C/G
Clap their hands and plead their cases
                          G
Call for blessings from above
                  Em            C/G     Em
Like the rolling waves forever massing
                              D/F#
To crash and foam and creep away
                    C/G
And the Silver Eagle passing
                        (G)
Half a mile from where she lay

             Em           C/G        Em
Road signs flow into the headlights
                        D/F#
Whisper names and fall behind
                            C/G      CMaj7/G
He finds some honor in the darkness
                              G
Hopes for grace and peace of mind
                  Em               C/G    Em
And he thinks of how they’d lay together
                                  D/F#
He’d run his fingers through her hair
                         C/G
And he wonders if she’ll ever
                          (G)
Come to know that he was there
