Intro - (sung without guitar)
Did I sleep? Do I dream of cold, silent water
So deep and dark
And the wires are singing our song?
Our song
As we lay back and stared into cloudless skies
And the stars up there
The wires are singing our song
The wires are singing our song
1st Verse -
AmYour face, now so Dmplain, once was so Amlovely
AmA beautiful rFefrain, dust with Estars
But your Amsmile now in diDmsguise became a fAmlat line
And tE7o never love again like you did Ebefore
EWas all
Chorus -
C   F  C     G     C   F
Why Ggo on with it, why go on with it?
FWhy, to let iEmt flow, like Gwater on Amsnow?
2nd Verse -
AmI know what you wDmant, what you are thAminking
AmTo drift beyond the Fpain and out of reEach
To Amsit, be safe and Dmwarm inside your soAmrrow
And listen to E7the slow, slow morse tappiEng of the rain
EBut it says
