D C Em G
Light ended the night but the song remained
D C
And I was hiding by the stair half here half there
Em G
past the lashing rain
D Em F#m G
And as the sky e would petal white old innocent lies came to mind
A G
As we stood congregated at the firing line
D Dsus4 D [x4]
D C Em G
Night ended the fight but the song remained
D C Em G
And so I headed to the wall turned tail to call to the new domain
D Em
As if in the sight of sea you're suddenly free
F#m G
but it's all the same
A G D G
Oh but I can hear you loud in the center
A G D G D Em F#m G
Aren't we made to be crowded together like leaves
D Em F#m G
Ooooooooooh
F Em
Was I too slow
F Em
Did you change overnight
G
Second son on the other line
D C Em G
Now back in our town as a castaway
D C Em G
I'm reminded of the time it all fell in line on the third of May
D Em F#m G
As if it were designed painted in sand to be washed away
A G D G
Oh but I can hear you loud in the center
A G D G D Em F#m G
Aren't we made to be crowded together like leaves
D Em F#m G
Ooooooooooh
F Em
Was I too slow
F Em
Did I change overnight
G Dm
Second son for the second time
Dm
Can I be light and free
Em F
If I lead you through the fury will you call to me
Em F Dm
And is all that I might owe you carved on ivory
C F Em Dm
But all will fade all I say all I needed
C F Em Dm
As a flash in the eye I wouldn't deny all receded
Dm
Life unfolds in pools of gold
Em F
I am only owed this shape if I make a line to hold
Em F Dm
To be held within one's self is deathlike oh I know
C F Em Dm
But all will be for mine and me as we make it
C F Em Dm
And the size of the fray can't take it away they won't make it
Emaj7
I was a fool
G# F#
Crime after crime to confess to
E
But I hold the fleet angel
Fm
She'll bless you
D#maj7 Fm
Hold fast to the wing
D#maj7 Fm
Hold fast to the wing
