North of Capricorn (South of You)

NORTH OF CAPRICORN (SOUTH OF YOU)

C                    D                          G                          Em

Winter in the city was long and cold and short on pity

C                   D                  G                        D

You kept me warm in the sunshine of your songs

        C                          D                   G                        Em

But when the summer shone again you were quickly gone again

  C                                      D             G                          C

I followed you across the border never knowing that I’d be

               G                                   D       C D G  C

North of Capricorn, but south of you

               G                             D          C

North of Capricorn, south of you

From the silent city streets I tracked you through the summer heat

Chasing your shadow in the sand and on the sea

Though I was never far behind you, I could never find you

I lost my bearings and you wouldn’t wait for me

North of Capricorn, south of you

All the summer long I listened for your song

Through the sighing of the ghosts drowned along the pearl shell coast

Heard the shipwreck bells all ringing but I never heard your singing

Summer turned to winter and I knew I’d always be 

North of Capricorn, still south of you

North of Capricorn, south of you
