Em Em/G Am D
You are awake though the night has

Oh how I want just one moment to

Kiss them gently!
Em Em/G Am D
We're miles apart. And although

Stars are lit in the sky
Am Am/C Em
Yet the dark steppe between us
Em/G F# B7
Tonight feels so troubled and
Em Em/G F# B7
Empty
Em Em/G Am D
I do believe you'll remain ever

Me in the fiercest of battles
( Em/G F# B7 )

And I'm at peace 'cause I know I'm

I'll return in fine fettle
( F# B7 )

I fear no death. It's been taking
Am Am/G# Am/G F#m7(5-)
Its toll all around
D D/F# G
And even now it is raging and will
C F# B7
Not settle
Em Em/G Am D
You are awake though the night has
G E7/B
Long covered the grounds
Am Am/C Em Em/G
As you're rocking the cradle I know
F# B7 Em Em/G
I'll return in fine fettle
( F# B7 Em Em/G )
( Am D G E7/B )
