Strum
D-DU-UDU
Balancing on one wounded wing
Circling the edge of the never ending
The best of the vanished marvels have gathered inside your door
More than begin, but less than forget
But spirit born from the not happened yet
Gathering there to pay off a debt brought back from the wars
We thought we lost you We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you Welcome back
Sleeping for years pick through what is left
Through the pieces that fell and rose from the depth
From the rain water well deep as a secret nobody knows
Less than forget but more than begun
These adventures in solitude never done
To the names of our wounds we send the same blood back from the wars
We thought we lost you We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you It will all come back
I know you want to run far away from one more,
and that its coming at a bad time
some cold place, some countless ways
For all we know
I know you need to breathe through come back, come to
but its coming at a bad time
Some how a watch from the tangle of days
For all we know
I know you want to run far away from one more,
and that its coming at a bad time
some cold race, some countless ways
For all we know
I know you want to breathe through come back, come to
but its coming at a bad time
old scarred face from survivor's guilt
For all we know
Extra notes:
If you play the piano, I think the verses use C 2nd inversion,
D 2nd inversion, and G 1st inversion. Start with middle C in the
middle and it should fall into place.
Someones quietly plucking a guitar in the intro and
first verse (that I can hear), and heres what s/hes playing.
