Eb            Bb       Ab     
Searching for diamonds in a sulphur mine
Eb         Bb              Ab
Leaning on props which are rotten
Eb         Bb        Ab
Hoping for anything, praying for a sign
                 Eb
That I am not forgotten.

Eb        Bb           Ab
Lost in a labyrinth of future mystery
Eb         Bb           Ab
Tracing my steps all mistaken
Eb          Bb          Ab
Trusting to everything, praying it can be
                 Eb
That I am not forsaken.   ||: Db Eb :||


  Db          Bbm        Gb   E
I wait by the door, wondering when
         B                A
You will come and keep me warm
Ab Db          B          E
I pray for the end of the night
  Ebm  Dbm B          A     Ab  Db
Hoping the light will still the storm
                        Eb

Which presently entraps me:
         Bb          Ab 
Helpless sea-monster stranded on the shore
  Eb           Bb         Ab
Marooned in an ecstasy of waiting
  Eb              Bb           Ab
I yearn, although knowing that I shall dive no more
                    Eb
In the tide already racing.   ||: Db Eb :||


   Db             Bbm       Gb  E 
My lungs burst to cry "Finally, how
        B                A
Can you leave me here to die?
Ab Db           B             E
I freeze in the chill of this place
        Ebm   Dbm B      A     Ab  Db
With no friendly face to smile goodbye - 
                     Eb
How could you let it happen?"

Eb                Bb        Ab 
Dreams, hopes and promises, fragments out of time
Eb           Bb               Ab
All of these things have been spoken
Ebm              Bbm        Abm
Still, you don't understand how it feels when I'm 
Abm     Dbm Abm  Dbm Abm Ebm
Waiting for them to be broken.    ||: Dbm Ebm :|| fade out
