Verse 1:
Am Em
The night is so wild,

And downstairs the child is sleeping,
Em F E
Her spirit is free.
Am Em
For more than an hour,
F E
I have walked in the rain,
Am Em F
I've been wondering, what she will be.
Dm
But where are the heroes?
Bb Am D
Where are the dreams that I had, when I was young?
F C
Am I hoping in vain, just to think,
Esus4 E
She could change anything?
Verse 2:
Am Em F
Well, I'm counting on you.
E Am
I'm counting on you,
Em F E Am
To bring that sweet gentleness to your world,
Em F E
And all that you do.

When you see, the mysteries of time.

Who just live in the past.

They will never, let history lie.

And this sad little island,
Bb Am D
Is breaking my heart with it's dark, shades of green

I just cannot see why this should be.

I'm counting on you.
