G C G D D7
I skimmed across black water without once submerging, onto the banks of an urban morning
G C G D G
That hungers the first light, much much more than, the mountains ever do.
G C
And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin,
G D D7
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed.
G C
For she is perfect creature, natural in every feature
G Em D G
And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone.
[Chorus]
Am D G Em Am D G G7
For all of you who must disc-o-ver,……. for all who seek to understand,
Am D G Em F C D D7
For having left the path of o-o-thers,…. you'll find a very special hand.
[Verse]
G C G D
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time, and it is the o-o-only way.
G C G Em
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes, to ponder his death,
D G
and his life eternally.
[Chorus]
G C G D
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time, and it is the o-o-only way.
G C G Em
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes, to ponder his death,
D G
and his life eternally.
[Instrumental]
G C G D G C G Em D G
[Outro]
G C
One bright blue rose outlives all those, two thousand years and still it goes,
G Em D G
To ponder his death and his life eternally.
