'Selma' from the concept album Broken Wings.
[Intro]
You say it's not Gmreal life
But I've never felt Ebmore alive
Aware of Bbev'ry second, of each and Fev'ry breath
And of my Gmheartbeat
How can I desEbcribe her?
BbSelma, in that silk white Fdress
[Verse]
She's a ray of Gmmoonlight, shining through the Eb/Gwindow
moving with Bb/Fgrace, FSelma
Her voice rings Gmsweetly, words floating Eb/Gfrom her lips
like dewdrops Bb/Fin the wind, nourishing all who Fhear herGm  Bb6  D/A  F#  
[Pre-Chorus]
EbThen her face! It's magical exGmpression
Combining a suff'ring with joy sent from Fheaven
For this Ebdream I've waited, she Gmcan't be recreated by Fany Bb/Dsculptor aEblive
[Chorus]
She's the light that was GmmissingF  
The thing that I was Bbsearching forEb  
No longer a stranger in this Gmland
FJust one more Bb/Dtouch of her Ebhand
I yearn for her, for Dm/FSel- Fma, Dmfor Gmmore
[Verse]
And then those Gmbeautiful eyes, embedded like Ebjewels
The light that Bbshines from them, the power Fof her smile
[Pre-Chorus]
She is Gmthoughtful, her silence a kind of Ebmusic
It carries you with Bbease
To a world of Fdreams
[Chorus]
She's the light that was EbmissingF  
The thing that I was Bb/Dsearching forEb  
No longer a stranger in this Gmland
Just one more Bb/Dtouch of her Ebhand
I yearn for her, for FSelma, Dmfor Gmmore
[Bridge]
She wears a Gmcloak of Cm/Fsor- Gmrow, like Cm/Fblossom Gmin the Cm/Fmist of Gmdawn
But that Gmsorrow, that Cm/Finner Gmsadness, it Cm/Flinks her Gmsoul, her Fsoul and Ebmine
We see what our Gmhearts are F7feelBbing, Cmhear the Gmechoes of Fvoices withEbin
