EThe flower Dfalls from an Aelegant Btree
And Cscattering Dnature's Eseed
And as the Dleaves fall Aafter the Brain

From the Cveil oh I Dcan't be Etouched
The message Dreads like a Amarrying Brhyme
As we Cstand through the Dtest of Etime

And as we A6dance on the Dstorms, F#mlife's beneath my Bmfeet
And from the A6clouds we enDlight, F#mnature speak

EThe hour Dends in a Asoggy Bsound
As the Ctree from the Dfall falls Edown
And then the Dleaves drip Agolden Bsand
The Clettering Dbreaks agEain

From the Cheaven that Dlife forEgot
The message Dfeels like a Amarrying Bhand
As we Cstand through the Dtest of Etime

INTRO

VERSE 1

E D A B

The flower falls from an elegant tree

C D E

And scattering nature's seed

D A B

And as the leaves fall after the rain

C D E

The soil will always fade

D A B

And as the water drips down from the top

C D E

From the veil oh I can't be touched

D A B

The message reads like a marrying rhyme

C D E

As we stand through the test of time

PRE-CHORUS

Gmaj7 A6

Standing the test of time, wondering why

Gmaj7 A6

Standing the test of time, gathering why

CHORUS

Bm A6 D F#m

Into the night, we are high, glad with life

Bm A6 D F#m Bm

And through the clouds, we arrive, like the skies in strike

A6 D F#m Bm

And as we dance on the storms, life's beneath my feet

A6 D F#m

And from the clouds we enlight, nature speak

VERSE 2

E D A B

The hour ends in a soggy sound

C D E

As the tree from the fall falls down

D A B

And then the leaves drip golden sand

C D E

The lettering breaks again

D A B

And the river brings life to the top

C D E

From the heaven that life forgot

D A B

The message feels like a marrying hand

C D E

As we stand through the test of time
