G#7
If I was a wave to pant
A#m7 C# F#maj7
Under-neath your power
G#7
If I was a leaf to fly
A#m7 C# F#maj7
Up out from the bower
G#7
If I was a cloud to burst
A#m7 C# F#maj7
In a sudden shower
G#7
I would never bow before
A#m7 C# F#maj7
This weight of hours
[Verse 2]
G#7
Tell me are the rumours true?
A#m7 C# F#maj7
Are you growing weak?
G#7
Maybe it's the climate
A#m7 C# F#maj7
Or some harsh cri-tique
G#7
But I used to hear you singing
A#m7 C# F#maj7
Now all you do is speak
G#7
In whispers to the withered ferns
A#m7 C# F#maj7
On Devil's Peak
G#7 A#m7 C# F#maj7 x2
[Bridge]
G#7
A cargo ship
A#m7 C# F#maj7
Moves a-cross the bay
G#7
The Mediterranean
A#m7 C# F#maj7
is a-ges away
G#7
My dry lips
A#m7 C# F#maj7 G#
Don't know what to say
C# F# C# F# C# F# C#/G# G#
Qui-vering in the wave's in-ten- ser day
[Verse 3]
F# G# C#
My tears sudden and uncouth
F#
A grit in my eye is a grain of truth
F# G# C#
Wind ruffling my plume of youth
F#
So tatterde-malion
[Verse 4]
F# G# C#
Waves crashing on the side of the wall
F#
Nothing makes sense in the city at all
F# G# C#
You'd like to see it crumble and fall
F#
Go ahead and sigh now
[Verse 5]
F# G# C#
This garden, more yellow than green
F#
Drinking tea, eating florentines
F# G# C#
Oh, tell me where on earth have you been?
F#
The fountain is dry now
C#
The fountain is dry now
C#
The fountain is dry now
