Em7 Bm7 Em7 Bm7 G7
I close my eyes I reach out my hand ? and there you are
Bm7 Cmaj7 B7 Em7
Beautiful in scabs caressing my scalp under the mouths of the guntowers
I shout your name I kick out in dreams and here we are
The searchlight beams the siren squeals and hopeless shuffle to
certainty
The crab lice bite the typhoid smells and I'm still here
Handsome in rags a trouserless man waiting helpless for dignity
Em Emmaj7 Em7 Emmaj7
Come to me angel
Em Emmaj7 Em7 Emmaj7
Don't go to the showers
Em Em7 Cmaj7 B7 Em7
Beg steal or borrow now there?s nothing left to take except eternity
And who will come to flower our graves that are still here?
Covered with dust remembered by few but forgotten by the majority
Stay will me angel do get lost in history
Don't let all we suffered lose its meaning in the dark that we call memory
