Verse 1
[A]I hear the drums [C#m]echoing [F#m]tonight
She [F#m/E]hears only [G]whispers of some [Bm]quiet con[F#m]versa[G]tio[Bm]n
[A]She's coming [C#m]in, twelve thirty [F#m]flight
The moonl[F#m/E]moonlit wings [G]reflect the stars that [Bm]guide me towards [F#m]salva[G]ti[Bm]on
[A]I stopped an [C#m]old man along the [F#m]way
Hoping [F#m/E]to find some [G]old forgotten [Bm]words or ancient [F#m]melo[G]melodies[Bm]dies
[A]He turned to [C#m]me as if to [F#m]say
[F#m/E]Hurry boy, it's [G]waiting there for y[Bm]you
Chorus

Verse 2
[A]The wild dogs [C#m]cry out in the [F#m]night
As [F#m/E]they grow restless [G]longing for some [Bm]solitary [F#m]comp[G]company [Bm]
[A]I know that [C#m]I must do what's [F#m]right
As sure as [F#m/E]Kilimanjaro [G]rises like O[Bm]Olympus above the [F#m]Sere[G]nget[Bm]i
[A]I seek to [C#m]cure what's deep in[F#m]inside...
[F#m/E]Frightened of this [G]thing that I've [Bm]become
Chorus
