St Stephens Cross

A                                 
He was there the night the wall 
       D             A
came down.
A                          F#m   
He lost her in the endless crowd,
    D

Bm                 E         
In the shadow of St. Stephen's 
 A            D
cross.
A                                 
He sent cries aloft for his fellow
D          A
 man,
A                           F#m  
His fingers slipping from her 
        D
hand,
Bm                  E           
The rain clouds prowling 
A          D
overhead.

A                              
She was there the night the wall 
        D              A
came down.

A                          F#m   
She faded into that newborn crowd
    D

Bm                 E          A 
Like a warning of what could be 
           D
lost.
A                              
Through the perforated night she 
        D              A
ran,
A                          F#m   
Her fingers slipping from his 
    D
hand
Bm                  E
And she breathed in freedom
             A          D
Before daylight tread.

A                                 
They were there the night the wall
     D              A
 was drowned
A                          F#m   
In the surging of that tidal 
    D
crowd
Bm                 E
An old world made new
           A            D
On the same holy ground.
A                                 
She found him standing, looking 
     D          A
lost
A                          
In the shadow of St. Stephen's 
F#m       D
cross,
Bm                       E       
And he closed his eyes and heard 
      A          D
no sound
Bm                       E       
But her breathing warm against 
    A          D
his mouth.
