As recorded by Brandi Carlile feat. The Makah Singers (2025 release) [Intro] C G C G [Verse 1]
          C
There are lines on my head in a canyon of sand

            G
We were miracles once in a trembling dance

         Dm                         Am
Just the light from a star that shimmers and burns

     F                         G
Only light years away from the lessons it learned

              C
But there’s a heart on a leaf

C
When it cracks in the cold

       G
And it falls at your feet

G
In the amber and gold

       Dm
Like a drum playing beats

Dm
A thousand years old

       F
And it bursts at the seams

       G
Of the stories it told

        Dm7
But she holds you

          G
Cause she knows you
[Chorus]
            F
And heavens run

                 Am
Tears into clear water

                G
Through ancient nights

                      Am
We knew the dreams of men

                F
And through the world

                   Am
The tears into the order

              D
The breath of time

                     F
Caused me to wander again

       G                    C
Oh, it caused me to wander again

                                 G
Yeah, wandering, wandering, wandering
[Verse 2]
            C
It’s in the love from the moon

C
For the morning dew

               G
When it clings to the grass

                        Dm
Just to remind you that change is a gift

Dm
Forever is a lie

       Am
With a kiss from the sun

     G
It returns to the sky

                C
It’s in the whisper of the wind

C
When it blows through your hair

       G
And it waits for you there

G
In the cold mountain air

           Dm
There’s no gold in those hills

Dm
It’ll bring you despair

     F
Only holes to be filled

              G
And they’ll always be there
[Chorus]
        F
Heavens run

                 Am
Tears into clear water

                G
Through ancient nights

                      Am
We knew the dreams of men

                F
And through the world

                   Am
The tears into the order

              D
The breath of time

                     F
Caused me to wander again

       G                    C
Oh, it caused me to wander again

                                 G
Yeah, wandering, wandering, wandering

 C   G
Ooh
[Bridge]
       F
You’re bound by a place

F
That’ll bring you to your knees

       G
And it breathes for the world

G
Through the tops of the trees

     Am                                                      G
To a river in the sky and it drives through the wires and it shows you

    Dm
She holds you

    Am
She knows you
[Interlude] G Am [Chorus]
       F                      Am
Heaven cries tears into clear water

                G
Through ancient earth

                      Am
We knew the dreams of men

                F
And through the world

                             Am
Through the earth and to the yonder

              D
The breath of time

                     F
Caused me to wonder again

       G                          C
Oh, it goes me to wander, wander again

                               G
Yeah, wander and wander and wander

                           C
Wander and wander and wander
[Outro] G C G C G N.C.
