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