AmHey, do you know where you're Ggoing?
Have you noticed its Fsnowing?
Although it is EJune?E

But Cunder these mountains
the nights and the shadows grow Glong
The stars up above you Amfeel wrong
This is not your Gsky?E

In this bed there's Fanother
Asleep at your Eside

AmGone, the embrace of a Glover
And the fire you disFcovered
Already has Edied
[Chorus 2]
Her Cbody recoils
as your hand goes to touch her Gagain
She's a temple that won't let you Amin
At her side you're GaloneE

No, Amthis flesh is not EhomeE  
[Verse 6]
AmYou carry a vague Gconviction
This life rose from an Feviction
Out of your Ehomeland

AmTrue but it's also Gaddiction
To this soft cruciFfixion
Under these foreign EhandsE  
[Chorus 3]
And Emlike Call Christs before you
you kneel down beneath the night Gsky
To look into your father's Ameyes

Hey, do you know where you're going?

Have you noticed its snowing?

Although it is June?

[Verse 2]

They said your weakness was showing

That your rapture was growing

Just a little too soon

This is not your sky?

Dawn throws its light on the covers

In this bed there's another

Asleep at your side

[Verse 5]

Am G

Gone, the embrace of a lover

And the fire you discovered

Already has died

[Chorus 2]

Her body recoils

as your hand goes to touch her again

She's a temple that won't let you in

At her side you're alone

Am E7 C G Am

On her back is the same constellation

Confirming your alienation

Am E E

No, this flesh is not home

[Verse 6]

Am G

You carry a vague conviction

This life rose from an eviction

Out of your homeland

[Verse 7]

Am G

True but it's also addiction

To this soft crucifixion

Under these foreign hands

[Chorus 3]

Em C

And like all Christs before you

you kneel down beneath the night sky

To look into your father's eyes

G E

(soft)

And only feel lost

Am E7 C G Am

A new king awaits coronation

But there will be no great revelation

Your journey is your destination

Discomfort could be your salvation

Here
