G C
I skimmed across Blackwater without once submerging
G D
onto the banks of an urban morning,
G C
that hungers the first light much, much more
G D G
than the mountains ever do.
G
And she like a ghost beside me
C
goes down with the ease of a dolphin
G D
and emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed,
G C
for she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
G D G
and I am the geek with the alchemist’s stone.
Am D G
For all of you who must discover,
Am D G
for all who seek to understand,
Am D G
for having left the path of others,
F C D
you find a very special hand.
G C
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time,
G D
and it is the only way,
G C
forget-me-nots among the snow, it’s always been and so it goes
G D G
to ponder his debt and his life eternally.

One bright blue rose outlives all those

two thousand years, and still it goes
G D G
to ponder his debt and his life eternally.
