I’ve been turning up these stones

In my own discontent

And I’m finding out where all

And grind your teeth

Then to look into the sadness

They will take over your house

And become the host

Walked the shores of Galilee

Towards the crystal sea

Well the shadows will be gone

And all these bitter tears
G
And my heart will hang on that
F
Until the dawn appears
