Tom: C
C
Didn't feel so cold and tired,stretched out before her fire,
G7
Rollin' smokes and drinkin' up her wine;
C F
And I re- -member candle-(C-light and singin' songs,
G7
Till we could sing no more,
C
Then fallin' fast asleep on Susan's floor.
F C
Now that my song is sweeter,
F C
Lord I'd like to greet her;
F C G7
To thank her for the favor that she gave,
F C F C
A stranger I came, my head bowed in the rain to her
G7
door.
C
I sat and sang my songs on Susan's floor.
F C F C
In the morn- -ing I'd go on leaving Susan and my songs,
G7
Knowing I'd be back in just a while,
C
Healing in the sunshine of her smile.
F C
Well, lots of time and songs have passed,
F C
I catch my- -self just looking back;
G7
Reliving all the wonder of those nights;
F C
That's where I would be to-day,
F C G7
If I had only stayed one night more,
C
And sang another song on Susan's floor.
F C
Like crippled ships that make it through a storm,
G7
And finally reach a quiet shore,
C
The hopeless found a home on Susan's floor.
