C F
I skimmed across black water without once submerging
C G
Onto the banks of an urban morning
C F
That hungers the first light much much more than the
C G C
mountains ever do
C F
And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the case
of a dolphin
C G
And emerges unlearned unshamed unharmed
C F
For she is perfect creature natural in every feature
C Am G C
And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone
#Chorus#
F G C
For all of you who must discover
F G C
For all who seek to understand
F G C
For having left the path of others
Bb F G
You'll find a very special hand
C F
And it is a holy thing and it is a precious time
C G
And it is the only way
C F
Forget-me-nots among the snow it's always been and so
it goes
C Am G C
To ponder his death and his life eternally
#Chorus#
C F
And it is a holy thing and it is a precious time
C G
And it is the only way
C F
Forget-me-nots among the snow it's always been and so
it goes
C Am G C
To ponder his death and his life eternally
C
One bright blue rose outlives all those
F
Two thousand years and still it goes
C Am G C
To ponder his death and his life eternally
