Paul Shapera - Elysian Night

           E   B
Elysium
    F#m                  G#m
The silent sighed lost lullaby
A  D     B
Elysian night


     E   B
Elysium
     F#m                  G#m
The child who climbs the edge of time
A  D     B
Elysian night


      E                   B
The place the child you hardly knew
D                       A
Sailed to in his wooden shoe
E                  B
Past the last star in the sky
        D            A            B
Where wishes never wished go lie 

     E   B
Elysium
    F#m                  G#m
The silent sighed lost lullaby
A  D     B
Elysian night

      E                   B
The place where all the love you shared
      D               A
Went day by day til none was there
        E              B
Where yearning and forgotten dreams
       D                 A         B
Are nursery rhymes the quiet sing


     E   B
Elysium
    F#m                  G#m
The silent sighed lost lullaby
A  D     B
Elysian night


     E   B
Elysium
     F#m                  G#m
The child who climbs the edge of time
A  D     B
Elysian night


      E                   B
The childhood friend you knew was there
      D            A
But never saw or touched and where
      E                B
They went when never called again
       D               A             B
The place their loneliness all ends


E                 B
All the sorrow, guilt and shame
D                   A
Burdens borne and karma paid
    E                     B
In one soft breath like candlelight
    D                  A            B
Dispersed in endless Elysian night


     E   B
Elysium
    F#m                  G#m
The silent sighed lost lullaby
A  D     B
Elysian night


     E   B
Elysium
     F#m                  G#m
The child who climbs the edge of time
A  D     B
Elysian night
