[Verse]
A Bm A E Esus4 E D
A long walk home, riddled with regret
D C#m Bm A Bm A E Esus4 E D
Uncommonly comfortable, but still I believe
[Bridge]
D C#m Bm E Bm E
That in time I think I'll see just what's been weighing down on me
Bm E
An unearthy void collapsed, exposing what was trapped
Bm E
To release this serendipitous design
[Interlude]
A Bm A E Esus4 E D D C#m Bm
[Verse]
A Bm A E Esus4 E D D C#m Bm
The smell of smoke, the evening sky was proof
A Bm A E Esus4 E D
Belated conversation saturate anticipation for the answers that simply won't come
[Bridge]
D C#m Bm E
But not I, I won't ask
Esus4 Bm E
Forget my place amongst the grass
Esus4 Bm E
The leaves and the trees remember me
Esus4 Bm E
And in my naivety it might be seen
Esus4 Bm E
The pail has leaked and even if
Esus4 Bm E
You pour all your water into it
Esus4 Bm E
You end up with nothing left to drink
Esus4 Bm E
The well has gone dry and I with it
[Chorus]
E Esus4 Bm
Oh, someday she'll be gone
E Esus4 Bm
Oh, someday she'll be gone
E Esus4 Bm
Oh, someday she'll be gone
E Esus4 Bm
Oh, someday she'll be gone
Bm E Esus4
(We'll still have her song to sing)
Bm
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
E Esus4
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
