Wait For Sleep

Intro: Em   C   Am   D  (2x)

Em
Standing by the window
C             Am
Eyes upon the moon
Em                      C        
Hoping that the memory will leave
             Am     D
 her spirit soon

Am                        D
She shuts the doors and lights
            Em            C
And lays her body on the bed
Am                 D             
Where images and words are 
   Em    C
running deep
Am                 D              
She has too much pride to pull the
 Em                C
 sheets above her head
Am              D                 
So quietly she lays and waits for 
 Em     C   Am
sleep

Em                                
She stares at the ceiling and 
           C       Am
tries not to think
Em                                
And pictures the chain She's been 
           C
trying to link again
         Am           D
But the feeling is gone

Am               D         Em   C
And water can't cover her memory
Am               D          Em   C
And ashes can't answer her pain
Am                D            
God give me the power to take 
Em             C
breath from a breeze
Am                     D     
And call life from a cold metal 
    Em
frame

D            Am
In with the ashes
D                             C
Or up with the smoke from the fire
D                Am
With wings up in heaven
D                 C
Or here, lying in bed
D                      Am
Palm of her hand to my head
D                C             D
Now and forever curled in my heart
                       C
And the heart of the world

Em   C   Am   D  (2x)
