   C/G/   /   /   / 
When the lake's on fire
     F/   /   /   / 
With all the world's desires 
   C/G/   /   /   / 
When he shakes the stars above 
     F/   /   /   / 
When we lose the ones we love
   C/G/   /        F/   /
When the seasons lose their grip
   C/G/   /        F/   /
When the tightrope walker slips
   C/G/   /        G/   /        F/   /   /   /
I'm counting all the possibilities
When the past becomes the now 
When the lost becomes the found 
When we fall in love with war 
When the angel fucks the whore
When the road we travel on 
Takes us back where we came from
I'm counting all the possibilities 
For dancing on this lazy afternoon
In the comfort of the world 
In the arms of my big nurse 
From the science of the heart 
To each animal and plant
Compact, relaxed- intact, give thanks
I'm counting all the possibilities 
For dancing on this lazy afternoon
