Intro: Am Dm E
Am Dm
Are you given vision? Are you second sight?
E Am (bass A, B, C, D)
Are you older than your life?
Am
Eighty days of sorrow
Dm
Endless more in sight
E Am
Still you child burn bright
Dm E Am
And you see me crying again
Dm E Am
And you hold out your little hand
Dm E Am
Lead me shaking to his room
Dm E Am
I thought I'd never see again
Close the door behind you
Turning out the light
Press a flashlight up against the wall
You say: "This is how we knew him, in a little egg"
"It opened up and this is daddy now."
Now you're stepping back towards me
Til the room is bathing in light
And the answer there before me
Dm E A
There's no ending when we die
Dm E Am
Are you sleeping here beside me
Are you shining bright as the sky
Are you breathing now inside me
There's no ending when we die
