FShadows on my wall C  
DmThey creep and crawl in burning Bbwhite 
FThey dream of waterfalls C  
DmCatching slow bright streams of Bblight. 
And life can be so weird 
Bucket full of fear 
But it's alright 
I'm on an isle 
And i've still got time to fly away 
Shadows in my dreams 
They're painting scenes of time with you 
I'm hoping all these things 
and the strength they bring will seem me through 
And life can be so weird 
Bucket full of fear 
But it's alright 
i'm on an isle 
And i've still got time to fly away.
