Em C - Am
1. Silence to hear once more
D G B7
her footsteps down a shadowed
corridor.
Em
C - Am
Frightened, you're overdue,
D G B7
the darkest day goes on until
it's blessed by you.
C Cm
G
F
Archangel risin'
on the moon, just to save me from this tomb.
C Cm G F - Em
I'll cry the tears of time all
day, 'til she wipes them all away.
A A7
Outside my window on silver
trumpets children play,
D
I stand here watching the
dying of an ageless day.
A
A7
Dismiss young couples who go home to their knowing bed,
A D
and watch the rooftops where
silent shadows slowly tread.
Em C - Am
2. Sleeping their dreamless
sleep,
D G B7
they'll never know the secrets
this room keeps.
Em C - Am
They'll wait when I'm born
again,
D G B7
the rent's been paid, so hurry,
carry me away.
C Cm G F
Archangel risin'
on the moon, just to save me from this tomb.
C Cm G F - Em
I'll cry the tears of time all
day, 'til she wipes them all away.
