Intro:
Winter's people watching
As I sail from season's four
To join some crazy ladies
In a game upon the shore
None of them with broken wings
But still refuse to fly
So with sweetness on my lips
I smile a last good-bye good-bye
And now I spend my life
On the velvet side of hell
Aimlessly here searching
For what I cannot tell
The quietness is terrible
It's more than I can stand
But thousands now stand cheering
As my blood flows in the sand in the sa-and
key solo over verses
then you come out of "D" and change into "Bb":
Spoken (some drums, keys and vocals):
You're not the child
You thought you were
You wake up in the night
And know you're blind
And yet they keep on pushing
Trying the insides of your mind
Forever, forever arresting to control
Until the emptiness of heaven welcomes your weary soul
Rise up with the new
dawn's early morning
Feel the sunshine
warm upon your face
Tomorrow's come a long, long
way to help you
Yes, it's your saving grace saving grace
Hey, baby, been the same now, your saving grace
Every day, every way
Tomorrow, it's your savin' grace
Well, now got no time to worry
Cause I've got no time to hurry
Baby, it's your savin' grace
Now don't you lay those blames on me
Don't you play those games on me
Cause baby it's your savin' grace
You got to need a little lovin'
Now baby it's your savin' grace
Hey, I feel alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
_
Your savin' grace |
Ahh, hey, hey, hey |
Your savin' grace |--keep the pattern of D-E-G-D and fade out
La la la la la la... |
Oh baby, it's your savin' grace _|
-fade out-
