[Intro]
C
[Verse]
C                                     Em
   Let's stay awake and listen to the dark.
C                                         Em
   Before the birds, before they all wake up.
         C                                 G
It's the ending of a play and soon begins another.
  F                          E7     Am
Hear the leaves applaud the wind.
[Chorus] - no words, just "Ooooooooh"

[Verse]
C                                                Em
See the sun come rising and white-wings start to fly.
C                                   Em
Like strings of pearls in the firey sky.
        C                                              G
I don't want to close my eyes, don't want to leave the stage now,
       F                    E7     Am
As the leaves applaud our stay.
[Chorus]

[Verse]
C                                       Em
Lend me your wings and teach me how to fly.
C                                          Em
Show me when it rains, the place you go to hide.
        C                                     G
And the curtains draw again and bow - another day ends.
    F                    E7  Am
The leaves applaud the wind.
[Chorus]
