Verse
C G
Tall corn, gravel roads,
F Am
Stained glass on the windows,
C G F C
Wrapped in the ragged soul of an old gentle hymn;

Making deals with the clouds;
F Am
Dreaming of those final hours
C G F C
When the thunder proudly bows to all whispering things.

But old ways how they fly

Like the earth from a tired eye;

We met at those crossroads

Where losing's the only way to go,

You looked at me if to say,

"Won't you show me another way, and..."

C G F C
Take me to your hiding place,
C G F C
Just a soul without a map that got lost 'long the way.

We kissed in the falling leaves;

Sang old time melodies;

Danced as our shifting feet turned stumbling.

We built our towers tall

Near a sea of shared tears fallen
C G F C
Cursed the waves that eat the walls ever crumbling.

Find their way through fixed years,

On into the circling spheres so far above us.

Honey, are you the one to fall

Together with me through it all?

I'm waiting for you to say

You're the one that can light my way, and...

Stones in the river thrown

Shimmering, sinking alone

Washing over every soul
C G F C
Though his bones will never know of the light it brings.
