[Verse]
D
When I see rivers tearing hills
              C                             D
Finished with mountains with the hill at my back
        C
I watch silt sink
          D
The river shown by walking downhill
       C                         D
Breath becoming clouds, becoming rain
          C                     G
Uprooting hillsides, dissolving bones

[Chorus]
    C               G
The stone groans an ode
   Em       D    C
To wind and dust clouding
            Em  D  C
In air, the song revealing

[Verse]
             D
The standing wave in the stream
         C
Bodies assembled of dust
             D
Brought temporarily
                  C
In the river, the rocks groan
    D                                    C
Oh, water pouring through me, pouring my mouth
      D          C               G
Trees bend in my sighing and lie down

[Chorus]
          C               G
The river shown groans an ode
   Em   D    C
To form and assembly
G          Em D   C
Alive, the song revealing

[Verse]
       D
At the end of the day
           C
Cold light comes from the side
                D
I stop what I'm doing
               C
And a river of cold wind brings night

[Chorus]
      C                 G
Night falls, cloaks the world
Em   D       C
Impenetrable darkness
        Em D       C
A chill rises from the soil
                    G
Erodes the world of dreams
   Em  D     C
In ashes and fog
         Em   D       C
Suddenly life has new meaning
                  G
Alive, propped on bones
Em  D        C
Overwhelming feeling
          Em   D        C
Confused, watching dust dancing
                       G
In the blow the stones erode
    Em  D C
The river revealing
       Em   D       C
Awake, revealed and fleeting
