C#m E F# Abm C#m
If only I could take all of you at once
E F# Abm C#m E
I would take you for ever and ever and ever and only so
F# Abm
Lose myself in you
C#m E F# Abm
And so I smile and skip green god like there
C#m E F# Abm
The picture of allrage all lust and wanton
C#m
The inmost night
E F#
And lay waste to the playgrounds
Abm C#m
The concrete covers all
E F# Abm
The grass sleeps and waits to rise again
C#m E F# Abm
It listens for the final trumpet of
C#m
The inmost light
E
And I clench my left hand
F# Abm
Then I open it
C#m
The Gods I loved
E F# Abm C#m
Are all dead pages metal signs all gone
E F# Abm C#m E
Edward Alexander in some sadhome falls alone
F# Abm C#m E F#
And sees clearly now the inmost light
Abm C#m
The sadness of the inmost light
E F# Abm
The growl the grip an final sigh
C#m E F#
Paint by numbers of the inmost light
Abm C#m
The plastic form illusion
E F#
We just have time to swallow
Abm C#m E
Before the doorknock of the inmost light
F# Abm
He waits at the door he waits at the door
E F# Abm
And if you see me try to grin and then I hide
C#m
Myself behind a ball
E F# Abm
A sign I wish to play and run hideandseek
C#m E F#
The sound is gay and full of joy
Abm C#m
It masks the binding of our eyes
E F# Abm
The scorch of all the bonefire burns
C#m E
We hop and skip and trick and treat
F# Abm
Just watch Your heart and soul and all
C#m E
And watch Your back - it's waiting there
F# Abm
Unsmiling there
C#m E
The Inmost light
F# Abm
Unforgiving there
C#m
The Inmost light
E F# Abm
So broken there
C#m E
The Inmost light
F# Abm
Howling
C#m
The Inmost light
E F# Abm C#m
bad bad bad Inmost light
