Verse
C G
Tall corn, gravel roads,
F Am
Stained glass on the windows,
C G F C
Wrapped in the ragged soul of an old gentle hymn;
C G
Making deals with the clouds;
F Am
Dreaming of those final hours
C G F C
When the thunder proudly bows to all whispering things.

Verse
C G
But old ways how they fly
F Am
Like the earth from a tired eye;
C G F C
Born again in a new life of flickering whims.
C G
We met at those crossroads
E7 Am
Where losing's the only way to go,
Bb F C
You looked at me if to say,
G
"Won't you show me another way, and..."
C G F C
Take me to your hiding place,
C G F C
Just a soul without a map that got lost 'long the way.
C G F Am
Worlds carved in stone, now somehow erased,
C G F C
Souls without maps yet bound to fly away.

Verse
C G
We kissed in the falling leaves;
F Am
Sang old time melodies;
C G F C
Danced as our shifting feet turned stumbling.
C G
We built our towers tall
F Am
Near a sea of shared tears fallen
C G F C
Cursed the waves that eat the walls ever crumbling.

Verse
C G
Tell me, can our lonely tears
F Am
Find their way through fixed years,
C G F C
On into the circling spheres so far above us.
C G
Honey, are you the one to fall
E7 Am
Together with me through it all?
Bb F C
I'm waiting for you to say
G
You're the one that can light my way, and...
C G F C
Take me to your hiding place,
C G F C
Just a soul without a map that got lost 'long the way.
C G F Am
Worlds carved in stone, now somehow erased,
C G F C
Souls without maps yet bound to fly away.

Me alone

Verse
C G
Stones in the river thrown
F Am
Shimmering, sinking alone
C G F C
Won't know how far flows their rippling rings,
C G
So the words of a man grow
F Am
Washing over every soul
C G F C
Though his bones will never know of the light it brings.
