I Eloved a Triple ASpiral, my C#mmaiden-mother-Bcrone
I Efolded my dG#mevotion into an C#morigami Brose
Stood C#mat her Tiffany Bwindow, she Esaid to look Abelow
Could I Esee the town was Aburning?
Could I Esee the broken Aprison?
Could I F#msee that it was Btime for me to Ego?
They Elooted the muAseum and took C#mall that they could Bhold
A Emotorcade of G#mflatbed trucks made C#moff with quite a Bhaul
C#mThat’s when I heard Bsomeone shout,
“In with the Enew! Out with the Aold!”
A Edusty box of Aletters
A Erusting suit of Aarmor
A F#mcasket made of Bfourteen karat Egold
    C#mThat’s the G#mproblem
    C#mNo sense of Btime
She is Eshaped just Emaj7like an G#mhourC#mglass there Alaying on Bher Eside
I lEoved you Triple SApiral–C#mfather, son and Bghost
But you Eleft me in my G#mdarkest hour when I C#mneeded you,
when I Bneeded you
Now C#mthat the dream is Bover I Ewant it to be Aknown
That I Enever saw it Acoming
Through my Elittle human Aprism
How F#msad it is to Bknow I’m in conEtrol
   C#mThat’s the G#mproblem
   C#mAn empty Bsky
I Efill it Emaj7up with G#meveryC#mthing that is Amissing Bfrom my Elife
   C#mWhere did you G#mcome from?
   C#mYou fated Bsign
ESpinning Emaj7through the G#mcenturC#mies exApanding Ball the Etime
 AThree worlds at once that blend toEgether
 AThree times I cried for us but BI felt better then
I Eloved you Triple ASpiral, my C#mmaiden-mother-Bcrone
You Efound me in this G#mfallow state, my C#mmind was off and Bstowed
I C#mheard your strange comBmotion and Ewished I could go Ahome
To Elive a little Alonger
A Efull Indian Asummer
F#mLong enough to Bcarve you into Estone
E--Emaj7--G#m--C#m--A--B--E

E A C#m B

I loved a Triple Spiral, my maiden-mother-crone

E G#m C#m B

I folded my devotion into an origami rose

C#m B E A

Stood at her Tiffany window, she said to look below

E A

Could I see the town was burning?

E A

Could I see the broken prison?

F#m B E

Could I see that it was time for me to go?

E A C#m B

They looted the museum and took all that they could hold

E G#m C#m B

A motorcade of flatbed trucks made off with quite a haul

C#m B

That’s when I heard someone shout,

E A

“In with the new! Out with the old!”

E A

A dusty box of letters

E A

A rusting suit of armor

F#m B E

A casket made of fourteen karat gold

C#m G#m

That’s the problem

C#m B

No sense of time

E Emaj7 G#m C#m A B E

She is shaped just like an hourglass there laying on her side

E A C#m B

I loved you Triple Spiral–father, son and ghost

E G#m C#m

But you left me in my darkest hour when I needed you,

when I needed you

C#m B E A

Now that the dream is over I want it to be known

E A

That I never saw it coming

E A

Through my little human prism

F#m B E

How sad it is to know I’m in control

C#m G#m

That’s the problem

C#m B

An empty sky

E Emaj7 G#m C#m A B E

I fill it up with everything that is missing from my life

C#m G#m

Where did you come from?

C#m B

You fated sign

E Emaj7 G#m C#m A B E

Spinning through the centuries expanding all the time

A E

Three worlds at once that blend together

A B

Three times I cried for us but I felt better then

E A C#m B

I loved you Triple Spiral, my maiden-mother-crone

E G#m C#m B

You found me in this fallow state, my mind was off and stowed

C#m B E A

I heard your strange commotion and wished I could go home

E A

To live a little longer

E A

A full Indian summer

F#m B E

Long enough to carve you into stone

E Emaj7 G#m C#m A B E
