E                    A           E 
An eclipse like this rarely will happen 
                A        E 
A shade is made few ever see 
                                 A       E  
How the alignment is decided and seasons travel 
                        A        E 
Remains unexplained til somebody tries 

    B         A           E 
I'm glad that you had the courage 
   B             A         E  
To live what you wanted to say 
    B         A           E   
The garden is starting to flourish 
    C#m      B           E  
And midnight will become day 
    C#m      B           E 
Oh, midnight will become day 
 
E A E 2x 
 
Chorus 
 
Storms born, sails torn far from the shoreline 
Safe at home having flown those perilous flights 
Every single little twinkle is brighter than imagined 
Like you did as a kid you're watching them fall 
Repeat Chorus 
 
     
The garden is starting to flourish 
And midnight will become day 
Oh, midnight will become day
