[1ST VERSE]
Bb C
Blinding shining star
Cm F Bb
You won't see so far
C
Know what can't be shown
Cm F Bb
Feel what can't be known
Bb
You were an isle unto thyself
Bb
You had a heart you hadn't felt
Cm F
Why would it hurt me
Bb
Or was it real
Bb
It was the night we had to part
Bb
We were afraid to miss the start
Cm
What did it matter
F7
Why would it matter
Bb F7
And could we heal
Bb C
Blinding shining star
Cm F Bb
You won't see so far
C
Know what can't be shown
Cm F Bb Bb7
Feel what can't be known
Eb F
I was a victim of magic
Eb F
Apollo catching my breath as I bled on the ground
Eb F
Somebody called me to follow
F# Ab Bb
I followed thinking aloud without hearing the sound
Bb
Then all the planets fell to dust
Lonely departing after us
Cm
Gone not forgotten
Cm7(?) F
Long but forgotten old lore
Bb
In every element of life
Cm
Love camouflaging under strife or other matters
Cm7(?) F Bb Bb7
Minds over matters let there be more
Eb F
Maybe you'll exit tomorrow
Eb F
The sorrow sweeping you off as your island replies
Eb F
Sudden invincible flowing
Eb F
A river clearer than all thou might view with thine eyes

Why did fire-erupted lands arrive
Bb F#
Why did murderous animals survive
B G
Why did we deserve to be revived
B G
Why was any and everything alive
