E
I lie awake at night
C#m
Listening to you sleeping

I hear the darkness breathe

And the rain against the window
After all this time

Cynical and jaded

All the stones are diamonds

All the blues are faded

Everything I've been through

All I've seen and heard

Spend so much of my life

In the spiritual third world

But you came and brought the rain here

Something learning to fly

From inside to inside

I have waited to feel this

For the whole of my life

We took ourselves apart
C#m
We talked about our faces
A
You said you didn't like yours
E
I said I disagree
E
And I keep the pieces separate
C#m
I clutch them in my coat

A jigsaw of an angel

I can do when I feel low

From emptiness and dryness

The famine of our days

I watch the heavens open

Wash it all away
