G
G
There, over there
Em G
Has gone, goes and will go
The copper sun
Em
Tarnishes with the year's tears
The golden golden copper sun
G
Old eldest dead
Em
Over the blue milky sea sky
Loss and lost and losing
Am C A
Do not weep
Em G
All this is passing
All the birds wing and fall
Through the heavens
Em
The cloudy clouds
Of snow of dew and of smoke
G
A shuddering reflection
Vanishing with the dropped stone
Em
Oh, I wait under the spaces
G
Under the molten star rain
Em
The flashing falling planets
Do not weep
Am
All this is passing
C A
Do not weep
Em G
All this is passing
So high I could come
Em
So far I shall fall
Daedalus broken
G
Daedalus falling
By the tooth stones
His shapes bends
Em
And makes s smiling bow
He careers and spiral down
G
Falls, falls
He waves words of farewell
Em
"Oh, do not weep
All of this passing
Am
To fail is human
C
Do not weep
A
To fall is human
Em
All this is passing
G
To hope is human
Do not weep
As the sound disappears
Em
As the rain falls
As the sky parts
As my tears fall
Do not weep
G
I shall wait for you"
Daedalus broken
Em
Daedalus falling
Do not weep
All this is falling
Do not weep
G
All this is falling
Do not weep
All this is passing...
Do not weep
Em
All this is passing...
