Were you drifting
G#m
On a strange tide?

Collecting visions

From the other side?

Caught between day and night

You were stealing moments past hours

Of your life
And balancing on

The edge of a knife

Memories of once longer days
G#m
They keep on flooding back

And for each other

Taking the time

On a wing and a prayer

A wounded bird in the hand

Raise the pen
E
Let it reinvent

My life again
F#

Flies from the hand

Of dark desert days?

Put it behind you now
G#m F#
Call out those bleak shadows from your mind
And never again
