Intro Am  Gm  C  Dm 

Dm   Gm           Dm         Am 
Cold light of the stars descent 
   Dm         Gm           Dm 
A flag drew a line in the wind 
   Gm       Dm                         Dm 
If I was awake there's a world that I left 
      Am       Dm 
Never far behind 
          Gm       Dm             Am     Dm 
From the time that I spent on the Arctic ice 

                Gm 
One moon has a name 
     Gm       Dm 
Only one to a dreaming host 
                         Gm 
But in the night she's ashamed 
                           Dm 
Till her drop thorough a darkened 
        Am              Gm 
Sea below beyond the world 
    A             Dm 
How deep does the water go? 

( Am  Gm  C  Dm ) 

Dm   Gm          Dm    Am 
Cold trail of the last ascent 
  Dm          Gm           Dm 
A cross held a sign in the wind 
    Gm        Dm 
And time fell away 
         Gm            Dm 
With the sound of each step 
       Am      Dm 
If the stars aligned then 
    Gm           Dm           Gm    Dm 
For us they were meant in the lunar sky 

                  Gm 
That moon has a name 
        Gm        Dm 
In the fires of a silver coast 
                Gm 
And on the ice I'm afraid 
                      Dm 
Of the drop through a darkened 
        Am               Gm 
Sea below beyond the world 
    A             Dm 
How deep does the water go? 

( Am  Gm  C  Dm )
