Dsus2             F 
Born on the wind, cooled by the rain 
G                Dsus2 
Lost in a dream, no memory remains 
Dsus2             F 
Under the clouds, far from the sun 
G                 Dsus2 
Tied to a wheel, since time has begun. 

       Cadd9                 F 
And we sleep the live long night 
G                                         Dsus2 
As part of the river we suffer together so far from the light 
       Cadd9              Bb 
And we gaze the live long day 
C                    Dsus2         Bb   C   Dsus2  Bb   C   Dsus2

Tossed on the sea, still in a dream 
G                  Dsus2 
Looks like a war, it's not what it seems 
Dsus2              F 
Ruled by the moon, pulled by the tide 
G                  Dsus2 
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. 

       Cadd9                 F 
And we sleep the live long night 
G                                         Dsus2 
As part of the river we suffer together so far from the light

And we gaze the live long day
