Introduction:
Em
Standing by the window
C Am
Eyes upon the moon
Em C Am D
Hoping that the memory will leave her spirit soon
Am D
She shuts the doors and lights
Em C
And lays her body on the bed
Am D Em C
Where images and words are running deep
Am D Em C
She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head
Am D Em C Am
So quietly she lays and waits for sleep
Em C Am
She stares at the ceiling and tries not to think
Em C
And pictures the chain She's been trying to link again
Am D
But the feeling is gone
Am D Em C
And water can't cover her memory
Am D Em C
And ashes can't answer her pain
Am D Em C
God give me the power to take breath from a breeze
Am D Em
And call life from a cold metal frame
D Am
In with the ashes
D C
Or up with the smoke from the fire
D Am
With wings up in heaven
D C
Or here, lying in bed
D Am
Palm of her hand to my head
D C D
Now and forever curled in my heart
C
And the heart of the world
