        Bm                   F#m                           
In the shadows of cargoes, I take you on time,  
A                     D   E      
Counting all the numbers

French kisses in the darkened doorways  
 Bm                   F#m      
Foghorn blowing out wild and cold  
A                     D  E             Bm  
A policeman shines a light upon my shoulder

Up comes a coaster, fast and silent through the night  
Bm             F#m   A        E              Bm  
Over my shoulder, all you can see are pilot lights  
 Bm                       F#m     
No money in our jackets and jeans are torn  
A                     D   E                                                                                    B  
Your hands are cold but your lips are warm

when she's walking down the river on the railway line  
A                     D  E       
she can still hear you whisper
