Intro Am Gm C Dm
Dm Gm Dm Am
Cold light of the stars descent
Dm Gm Dm
A flag drew a line in the wind
Gm Dm Dm
If I was awake there's a world that I left
Am Dm
Never far behind
Gm Dm Am Dm
From the time that I spent on the Arctic ice
Gm
One moon has a name
Gm Dm
Only one to a dreaming host
Gm
But in the night she's ashamed
Dm
Till her drop thorough a darkened
Am Gm
Sea below beyond the world
A Dm
How deep does the water go?
( Am Gm C Dm )
Dm Gm Dm Am
Cold trail of the last ascent
Dm Gm Dm
A cross held a sign in the wind
Gm Dm
And time fell away
Gm Dm
With the sound of each step
Am Dm
If the stars aligned then
Gm Dm Gm Dm
For us they were meant in the lunar sky
Gm
That moon has a name
Gm Dm
In the fires of a silver coast
Gm
And on the ice I'm afraid
Dm
Of the drop through a darkened
Am Gm
Sea below beyond the world
A Dm
How deep does the water go?
( Am Gm C Dm )
( Am Gm C Dm )
( Am Gm C Dm )
( Am Gm Am Gm Am Gm )
( A Dm )
