Am F G
Won't you follow me late at night
Am F Em
To the river when the moon is bright
Am F G
We can wash our sorrows down

Underneath that shining round

Sitting in the still night air
Am F Em
Can't you feel our Daddy there
Am F G
There's life and death in all this power
Am F Em
Underneath these shining stars
Am F G
Running from the heart of it
Am F Em
Right into the cause of it
Am F G
Running from the heart of it
Am F Em
Right into the cause of it
Am F G
Running from the heart of it

Right into the cause of it
Am F G
Running from the heart...
