C#F#
I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
C#G#
Onto the banks of an urban morning
C#F#
That hungers the first light, much much more than the
C#G#C#
mountains ever do.
C#F#
And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the case
of a dolphin
C#G#
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed
C#F#
For she is perfect creature, natural in every feature
C#A#mG#C#
And I am the geek with the alchemistsʼ stone.
Chorus:
F#G#C#
For all of you who must discover,
F#G#C#
For all who seek to understand,
F#G#C#
For having left the path of others
BF#G#
Youʼll find a very special hand.
C#F#
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
C#G#
And it is the only way
C#F#
Forget-me-nots among the snow, itʼs always been and so
it goes
C#A#mG#C#
To ponder his death and his life eternally
Chorus:
C#F#
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
C#G#
And it is the only way
C#F#
Forget-me-nots among the snow, itʼs always been and so
it goes
C#A#mG#C#
To ponder his death and his life eternally
C#
One bright blue rose outlives all those
F#
Two thousand years and still it goes
C#A#mG#C#
To ponder his death and his life eternally
