Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
As  your soul drifts from the plate
To  the floor where she is standing
Rising  by the fire
 From the torch you were burning
Many  years but many tears
And  many more will soon be arriving
 But i drink this final drop
To  enter your  front door
Gone  are the days
 When I poured  from the rain
Where  once once marched a man
 Going down  life's drain
Oh  in time in time you will  see
Just  what you mean to  me
For  I have let an angel  clip  my wings
Come  back young volunteer
For  your war now it is  over
 Lay down your blackened gun
 Not another bad  word spoken
Come  tell of all you've seen
 To the soul  you're no longer killing
 And rest your weary voice
 The last battle song  has cried
Gone  are the days
 When I poured  from the rain
Where  once once marched a man
Going  down life's drain
Oh  in time in time you will  see
Just  what you mean to  me
For  I have let an angel clip  my wings
Oh  an angel clipped my wings
From  the back of a broken dream
So  no ground need ever break my fall again
For  i return  to sing  this  tune
From  the back of a  broken dream
Time  wont hurry  back
Time  wont stall
Time  to forget  the past
Brush  the cobwebs from  the wall
Oh  for I survived  to sing  this tune
From  the back of a broken  dream
For  an angel clipped my wings
 From the back  of a broken dream
So  no ground need ever break my fall again
For  i return  to sing  this tune
From  the back of a broken  dream
For  i return  to sing  this tune
From  the back of a broken  dream
