 Verse 1 chords: (play into riff along with chords if desired)
 Her eyes  could have only  been born  of this ocean
  Delph blue,  longing and weepy  they want  me so much  to want  you
 All wrapped  up beside  you and winded,  After  you've taken  me
 My mind's  roaming free,  dozing dazy  drifting out  this evening
 Chorus 1 Chords:
]  w/ intro riff
  With a verse so sweetly sung
]  w/ intro riff
  Into a world we've longed to come
]  w/ intro riff
  But somehow we are not one
 (use verse 1 chords)
 And all her lavender meadows so fragrant and beautiful
 And at your dining room table the sun falls on my face so warm
 And all the turbulent highways I've taken to get here
 To you in this home, in this moment, for that I am grateful
 (use chorus 1 chords)
 Though this house feels like an old lost song
 That calls for me to play along
 Somehow I don't belong
]  w/ intro riff
  The night lit by moon, the day sun
]  w/ intro riff
  Ooh baby I'm wondering how come?
]  w/ intro riff
  The light is nearly gone
 x23 w/ intro riff
 (use verse 1 chords)
 Her soul could have only been born of a wild oak
 So far reaching and swaying and free but stands stoically alone
 When the skies come apart she leans over so helpless and cowering
 Until the storms come to cease and somehow she's the only one standing
 (use chorus 1 chords)
 And though we've grown so close my love
 And though these nights we've spent so many of
 A part of me is numb
 Her eyes look up to me, so open and true
 Our window's in perfect clear view
 But somehow I can't see through
 x4 w/ intro riff
