Am Fill
Am Em Spring it came upon us, every insect filled the air D Am Fill Dropped their wings upon my brother, cast their shadows on his hair Am Em If we follow where they're leading, We will surely come before D Am Am7 some unseen and wondrous magic, made of visions to explore D Am Am7 Near the town where we were living, was an old abandoned farm D Am Am7 Every year we'd plant an orchid, in the shelter of it's arm D Am Am7 To protect us from the madness, of the future still to come Em C D It will be like this forever, I will keep you safe from harm
Bridge
Am Em D Am Fill
Am Em Then they caught us in the summer, dressed in fathers finest clothes D Am Fill You the hat he wore to market, I the jacket filled with holes Am Em I've been searching all these hours, for a hand as pale as bone D Am Am7 That would keep the strongest sunlight, and reflect the brightest stone D Am Am7 Near the town where we were living, was a warm and fragrant smell D Am Am7 Of the orchid we had planted, now a forest tall and well D Am Am7 What a statue to our greatness, what a story all will tell Em C D They'll remember us forever, they'll remember where we fell
Bridge
Am Em D Am Fill
Am This old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders G/C Pulls to the left, then dies near the gutter D But still in the road, the traffic is silent Am The people they stare, and then they turn violent C If they should touch, the hem of your dress Am I would rise like a lion, strike out again C The faithful they wait, the faithful they wait G/C By the sign D Am Am7 Near the town where we were living, came a loud and joyous sound D Am Am7 As the earth and all her beauty, picked us up from off the ground D Am Am7 Carried far across the mountain, to a kingdom never bound Em C D We will live like this forever, I will love you, I will love you
