It's the second September I have known you 
                      Bm 
Four years or so ago, I rode a pony, called him "Truth"  
A                            Bm           A            D 
We didn`t know the way so it took us till today to get here 

Bm                   G 
And all that time, I felt just fine 
Bm                          A 
I held so many people in my suitcase heart 
Bm 
I was glad to let the whole thing go  
G 
It was taken by the wind and snow 
Bm                                 A 
And I still didn't know that I was waiting  
G               A         D         G D 
For a girl on a slow pony home  

I can remember when I first saw you 
You said in my photograph I looked more far away 
I laughed and smiled and didn't say "I am a bit afraid to be here."  

And all that time, I felt just fine 
I held so many people in my suitcase heart 
That I had to let the whole thing go  
It was taken by the wind and snow 
And I still didn't know that I was waiting  
For a girl on a slow pony home  

G                           Bm 
Setting free the anchor and looking past the shore 
G                       E                                  A 
It's a sea of horses on ships with no sails, no motors, no oars 

Now we're cleaning the windows between us two  
Funny, you do it once, and then again, and pretty soon  
the fingerprints and dust... but I've begun to trust the view here. 

And all that time, I felt just fine 
I held so many people in my suitcase heart 
I was glad to let the whole thing go  
It was taken by the wind and snow 
And I still didn't know that I was waiting
