Intro:
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
It's coming from so far away
It's hard to say for sure
Whether what I hear is music or the wind
Through an open door
Eb#5
There's a fire high in the empty sky
Where the sound meets the shore
There's a long distance loneliness
Rolling out over the desert floor
| | | | |
| | | | |
And the years that I spent lost in the mystery
Fall away leaving only the sound of the drum
Like a part of me
It speaks to the heart of me
Forget what life used to be
You are what you choose to be
Eb#5
It's whatever it is you see
Gmb5(6)
That life will become
Whatever it is you might think you have
/
You have nothing to lose
Through every dead and living thing
Time runs like a fuse
/
And the fuse is burning
/
And the earth is turning
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| |Eb#5 | | |
| | |/ |(add9)/G |
Though the years give way to uncertainty
And the fear of living for nothing strangles the will
There's a part of me
That speaks to the heart of me
Though sometimes it's hard to see
It's never far from me
Eb#5
Alive in eternity
That nothing can kill
Gmb5(6)
Oh Lord
/
Are there really people starving still?
Look out beyond the walls of Babylon
How long will their needs go unfilled
/
I want to say right now I'm going to be a - round
(backgr. vocals: I'm going to be around)
/
When the walls and towers are crumbling
(backgr. vocals: When the towers are tumbling down)
/
And I will tune my spirit to the gentle sound
(backgr. vocals: I want to hear the sound)
/
Of the waters lapping on a higher ground
(backgr. vocals: Of the children laughing)
