[Intro]
C/G F C/G
[Verse 1]
C/G F C/G
They drove you t'ward that foreign highway
C/G G G7
You reached that concrete river at dawn
C/G F C/G
You were scorned by scores of passing travelers
C/G G C/G
By night, you were nowhere, but you were nearly gone
C/G F C/G
You were scared and you dared not look behind you
C/G G G7
What have you cast away, what have you thrown
C/G F C/G
Where are your friends that you fashioned the dream with
C/G G C/G
Where are their hands on your collarbones
[Chorus]
C/G F C/G
They are here, they are here, they are here and waiting
C/G G G7
They are with you walking, they are with you in bed
C/G F C/G
Come and let them bring you water
C/G G C/G
Come and let them hold your head
[Verse 2]
C/G F C/G
And say here is the end of all your troubles
C/G G G7
Here is the garden wet and bright
C/G F C/G
Here is your seat beneath the cedars
C/G G C/G
Here is the young unfolding night
[Chorus]
C/G F C/G
They are here, they are here, they are here and waiting
C/G G G7
Here in the electric air you lost in your youth
C/G F C/G
Here in the sheets in the shuddering pleasures
C/G G C/G
Here in your children, strong and good
C/G F C/G
Here is the end of all your struggles
C/G G G7
Here is the garden, wet and bright
C/G F C/G
Here is your seat, beneath the cedars
C/G G C/G
Here is the close and holy night.
