[Verse 2]
A A/G The flood that comes in all my dreams D Tsunami of memories A A/G Take me where they'll bury me D F Acquaint me with the stones A A/G For every brick and every bea D Dm A slave will work and sweat and bleed A A/G And an architect collects his fee D/F# Dm C All floods do run to home

[Verse 3]
A A/G Before the sun completes its arch D/F# Dm And leaves us wintering in dark A Is there a language here A/G Or just strange marks D/F# Dm Some alphabet of souls A A/G Some memories whisper low remarks D/F# Dm Others never ceasing bark A A/G Like dogs in some sunless park D F Forever digging holes

A A/G The time will come when I awake D F And the cold wind of the dawn will say A A/G I don't care if you go or stay D/F# Dm Jus don't forget your soul A A/G Vanity like leaden plates D/F# Dm Protect me from what radiates A A/G Realities dishonest weight D/F# Dm Pass through me and go on
