Introducción:
Em D9/F# G6 C
Standing knee deep in cold water
Em D9/F# G6
Swiftly moving, somehow
C
I knew I'd lost something
Em D9/F# G6 C
Wading waist deep I saw a book there in the river
Em D9/F# G6 C
Waiting for me to find it there
Em D9/F# G6 C
I tried to read it, neck deep, treading water
Em D9/F# G6 C
But the tide, it pulled me out to sea
C
Then, with water in my eyes
Em
The words began to rise from their place
C
They were beautiful and dread
Em
I reached for them and fed on each phrase
Am
They were honey on my lips
G4 C
But then a bitter twist in my side
Am
I knew they'd lay me in my grave
G4 C
"is there no one who can save me?" I cried
Em D9/F# G6 C
Sinking, down deep through cold water and heavy silence
Em D9/F# G6 C
Shadows stirring in the gloom
Em D9/F# G6 C
What things that lay sleeping down deep in the darkness
Em D9/F# G6
Woke then
C
To find me in that tomb?
G
And when I lost all hope to look
D9/F#
Someone took that heavy book -
C G
From my hands all its weight they set aside
D9/F# C
After they had satisfied its demands
Am
I felt white and black reverse
G4 C
And the lifting a curse from my heart
Am
Then like one receiving sight
G4 C
I beheld a brilliant light in the dark
