F#m D
I lay in the forest amongst the butterflies and the fireflies
F#m
And the burning horses and the ??flaming trees
D
As a spiral of children climb up to the sun
F#m
Waving goodbye to you and goodbye to me
E
As the past pulls away and the future begins
Bm D
I say goodbye to all that as the future rolls in
E
Like a wave, like a wave
F#m
And the past, with its savage undertow, lets go
DE F#m
D E
Come on, everyone, come on, everyone
F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun
D E
To the sun, to the sun, and on each golden rung
F#m DE F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun
D
And a man called Jesus, He promised He would leave us
F#m
With a word that would light up the night, oh, the night
D
But the stars hang from threads and blink off one by one
F#m
And it isn't any fun, no, it isn't any fun
E
To be standing here alone with nowhere to be
Bm
With a man mad with grief and on each side a thief
D E
And everybody hanging from a tree, from a tree
F#m
And everybody hanging from a tree
D E
Come on, everyone, come on, everyone
F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun
D E
To the sun, to the sun, taking everyone
F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun
D
There is nothing more valuable than beauty, they say
F#m
There is nothing more valuable than love
D
And I lie amongst the leaves and the burning trees
F#m
And the fields of smoke and the black butterflies
E
And the screaming horses and your bright green eyes, so beautiful
Bm DE F#m
Oh, your bright green eyes, so beautiful
