Damascus – Nathan Gray
[Verse]
Em C
Dear old friend this is the end
C G
this road begins and ends with death
G D
And I can't wait here anymore
Em
As I'm called to justify defeat
C
My heart is breaking here on my knees
G D Em
And every word falls silently ………….ignored
[Chorus]
C G
When in the stillness of the night I screamed your name
D Em
No shining light no not a word you never came
C G
So I have come to lay these flowers at your grave
D Em
And move on in my name
[Verse]
Em C
Through these years I've lost control
C G
traded my life for nothing more
G D
Than fevered dreams of shame and doubt
Em C
While I lay screaming bleeding please if you're alive you're still dead to me
G
And I know I'm all alone
D
so I will leave
[Chorus]
C G
When in the stillness of the night I screamed your name
D Em
No shining light no not a word you never came
C G
So I have come to lay these flowers at your grave
D Em
And move on in my name
