 Intro – B, G♯m, E, F♯

BYou breathed infinity into my world

G♯mand time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl.

E F♯

 We dug a hole inB the cool grey earth and lay there for the night.

 Then you said, G♯m"wait for me we'lEl fly the wind,

F♯ E F♯

 we'll grow oldB and you'll be stronger without him" but oh,

 now my world G♯mis at your feet. I was lost and I wasE found,

 but I was alive anF♯d now I've drowned.

G♯mSo now EI will be waiting for the world to hBear my song

 so they can tell meF♯ I was wrong... E F♯

 But they weren't there beneG♯math your stare,

 and they weren't stripped 'tiEll they were bare of

 any bindingBs from the world outside that room. F♯

 And they weren'tG♯m taken by the hand

 and led through Efields of naked land

 where any preB-conceived ideas were blownF♯ away...

 so I cG♯mouldn'F♯t sayE "no".

B G♯m E F♯

 You sigBhed and I was lost in you, weeks G♯mcould've past for all I knew.

EYou were the blanket of the over-world aF♯nd so I couldn't say,

 I wouldn't say "Bno". But they all G♯msaid, "you're tEoo young to even know,

 just don't let iF♯t grow and you'lEl be strF♯onger without him"

 but oBh, now, my G♯mworld is at your feet. I wEas lost and I was found,

 and led through Efields of naked land

 where any preB-conceived ideas were blownF♯ away...
