the same chord through two measures, but doesn’t emphasize it the
C D G C C D G
[G]                            C     D  
       Balancing on one wounded wing
Circling the Gedge of the never enCding
                                     C                      D         G[G]
The best of the vanished marvels have gathered inside your door
More than Cbegin, but less than forDget
But spirit Gborn from the not happened Cyet
                            C                            D        G[G]
Gathering there to pay off a debt brought back from the wars
We thought we loCst you     DWe thought we loGst youC  
                        C               D        G[G]
We thought we lost you       Welcome back
 C   D   G[G]
Sleeping for Cyears pick through what is Dleft
Through the pieces that Gfell and rose from the deCpth
                                   C              D          G[G]
From the rain water well deep as a secret nobody knows
Less than forCget but more than beDgun
These adventures in sGolitude never Cdone
                                        C                        D     G[G]
To the names of our wounds we send the same blood back from the wars
We thought we loCst you     DWe thought we loGst youC  
                        C                      D       G[G]
