C F C
Play me something gently, I'm across the ocean missin' home
F C C/B Am C/B C
There are lights on sparklin' towers that shine dark when seen alone

Somewhere there's a mountain that overlooks the sea

I wonder if that mountain has got more rock than my band and me
C F C
And I ain't no victim to a naive boy's dreams
F C C/B Am C/B C
But I wish you were here now to see these damned old sparklin' things
[Refrão]

It's a long road to heaven (Long road)
G Am
It's a far drop to hell
F C
I pray we outlive this fountain (Pray we outlive)
G Am
I reckon time will tell
F C
The stronger folks keep goin'
G Am
No matter where they've been (No matter where they've been)
F C
And there are lights on sparklin' towers
G Am
That I'll never see again (I'll never see them again)
[Segunda Parte]
C F C
I am not the person that I was yesterday
F C C/B Am C/B C
And the things I'm seeing now will never be the same
C F C
Do you think God's a person or the blinking lights?

Of laughter through the walls in a place I haven't found?

I reckon time will tell

The stronger folks keep goin'

No matter where they've been (No matter where they've been)

Do you think God’s a person or is He just the sound

Of early mornin' creakin''on some floors way out of town?

I'm breathin' in a life and my legs are workin' fine
F C C/B Am C/B C
Do you think God's a person or the slowly passin' time?
