[Verse 1]
EmThe sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
D/EPlumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
C/EA man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But aEmwakes to a morning with no D/Ereason for wakingEm  D/E  
He's Emhaunted by the memory of a lost paradise,
In his D/Eyouth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's C/Echained forever to a world that's departed
It's Emnot enough, it's not enough.D/E  
[Verse 2]
His Emblood has frozen curdled with fright
His D/Eknees have trembled given way in the night
His C/Ehand is weakend at the moment of truth
His Emstep has faltered.D/E  Em  D/E

And D/Esilent replies that swirl invitation
C/EFlow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A Emgrim intimation of D/Ewhat is to be.Em  D/E  
There's an Emunceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's D/Edust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And C/Esilence that speaks so much louder than words,
Of Empromises broken.D/E  
[Outro]   Em    D/E    Em  D/E

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land

D/E

Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:

C/E

A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,

Em D/E Em D/E

But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking

He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise,

D/E

In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise

C/E

He's chained forever to a world that's departed

Em D/E

It's not enough, it's not enough.

[Verse 2]

His blood has frozen curdled with fright

D/E

His knees have trembled given way in the night

C/E

His hand is weakend at the moment of truth

Em D/E Em D/E

His step has faltered.

[Bridge]

Bm A/B D/A Bm/F# F#m

One world, one soul.

Bm A/B A Bm/F# F#m

Time pass, the river rolls.

[Verse 3]

And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication

D/E

And silent replies that swirl invitation

C/E

Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea

Em D/E Em D/E

A grim intimation of what is to be.

There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night

D/E

And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight

C/E

And silence that speaks so much louder than words,

Em D/E

Of promises broken.

Em D/E Em D/E
