[Verse 1]
G      D       C                 G
Here today the red sky tells his tale,

Em           Am                 Bb
But the only listening eyes are mine

         A
There is peace amongst the hills,

Cm                              G     C  D C
And the night will cover all my pride.

G          D       C                 G
Blest are they who smile from bodies free,

Em               Am        Bb
Seems to me like any other crowd

        Am            D
Who are waiting to be saved.

A           D        Amaj7    Dsus2          A     D
Wait, there still is time for washing in the pool,

G             E4  E
Wash away the past

A        D          Amaj9     D            A     D
Moon, my long-lost friend is smiling from above,

G              E4   E
Smiling at my tears.

A          D        A       D             A    Dadd13
Come we'll walk the path to take us to my home,

G                E4  E
Keep outside the night.

A   D        Dmaj7     A A6 A  D   D(b5) D   A    Dadd13
The ice-cold knife has come to decorate the dead,

    G6   E4  E
Somehow

D                    A
And each will find a home,

D                       Amaj7
And there will still be time,

    F#m7      Gmaj7add13
For loving my friend
[Verse 3]
         A
You are there

G/A                      D/A
And will I wait for ever, beside the silent mirror

A
And fish for bitter minnows amongst the weeds

         G/A   D/A   A
And slimy wateeeeeeeeeeer.

   G/A                                     D/A
