Intro:
E - E
Verse:
E Cm
Born from the night in the roaring wind
A E
Cast out of the shadows by an unknown hand
Cm
Warmed by the light of these falling limbs
A E
Drunk on the sadness of a universe unmanned
Cm
Across the water she clings to me
A E
and in the rising calm I feel her at my side
Cm
My father's singing in the fallin' leaves
A E
about the complicated beauty of a river run dry.
Refrain:
Cm A
Sit down by the fire
E
Sit down by the fire
Verse:
E
It's hard to say
Cm
but I think you'd better
A
just say you don't love me
E
you don't love me anymore
I been waiting in line
Cm
now I know I'll never
A
Overcome this madness
E
if I don't know for sure
Cm
Across the water she clings to me
A
and in the light of dawn
E
I see her at my side
Cm
My father's singing in the fallin' leaves
A
there's no way out of this old world even if you try
Refrain:
