Am        F     Dm           G
Days have come, winters have gone

       Am           F           Am
and we gambled like siblings in Paradise.

Am         F       Dm          G
I was your knight, holding you tight

       Am         F          Am
as a brother when I saw your crying eyes.

         G          F      E7      Am
Time went by and we had to say goodbye.
PRE-CHORUS 1
D                 Am
Staring up to the clouds above

D                      Am
Children so little and sad.

E          E/G#         Am
Hoping the saints could help one day

G                 C
Lead us together again.

Am          G          F        Dm7             E       | E7  F G
Holding the key to the alley of dreams still in   hands!

Time telling me to say farewell

                              Am         F     C  G
but I know that I would fight hell and I know: We will

C                          G
go for another time we can see,

                          F         G           Am     G
for another time we'll be free, for no more farewell

go for another time we can see,

VERSE 2 (Anna)
Am          F       Dm             G
Stepbrother tell me where have you been

          Am            F          Am
when they brought me to this godforsaken place.

Am          F            Dm       G
Sign of the cross - they took me away

    Am           F            Am
for healing with herbs by the way of grace.

      G            F      E7       Am
Now I wait for the day to feed the flames.
PRE-CHORUS 2 (Gabriel)
D                       Am
I have been caught in a cage of despair.

   D                         Am
My heart as a monk's cell so empty and bare.

    Am      G         F          Dm7      E    | E7  F G
But no holy water can make me forget you again!
