When your Clove C/Brains Ddown just like Gdiamonds G/F#all aCround
Strange and chanC/Bging Dsound transforGmation G/F#in the gCround
Great and windC/Bing Dtree splits the Gearth from G/F#sea to Csea
And my Glover comes to Cme, bids me Gfollow Cendlessly
As she Claughs and C/Bstarts to Dclimb through the Gbranches G/F#and the vineCs
Through the Gtangle of our Cminds
For this Ctree you C/Bsee it Dgrows, never-Gending
Same Pattern as verse 1: 
When your love flows free just the way it’s meant to be
All these chains that bind I find I quickly leave behind
And all the earth below seems a thin and fleeting snow
And my father I concede is further up upon the tree
And his beard is made of bees dancing wildly in the leaves
And my lover says to me you must be blind if you’re to see
Must walk behind if you’re to lead
Must be the soil to the seed never-ending
For I Dfeel the years like Cdistant gears may Gturn and cG/F#ome to Crest
Where they Gdwell within my Cchest 
Let my Gspirit Ccoalesce
Yes and Ddeath is dressed in Ccolors blessed a Gmystery I cG/F#onfess I cannot Csee
Same as Verse 1: 
When your love rains down the sound of singing so profound
Fills the ground so deep like a weeping mothers sleep
As a baby’s breath whispers death so none can hear
And I passed the ancient seer
Entering the atmosphere 
In a tree that never ends with my lover and our friends
Entering the black of space
We replace the stars that shine never-ending

As a baby’s breath whispers death so none can hear

And I passed the ancient seer

Entering the atmosphere

In a tree that never ends with my lover and our friends

Entering the black of space

We replace the stars that shine never-ending
