Lyrics:

D G
I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
D A
Onto the banks of an urban morning
D G
That hungers the first light, much much more
D A D
Than mountains ever do.

D G
And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin
D Em A
And emerges unlearned, unshamed , unharmed.
D G
For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
D A D
And I am the geek with the alchemists stone.

Em A D Em A
For all of you who must discover , for all who seek to
D
understand
Em A D C G
For having left the path of others, you find a very special
A
hand

D G
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
D A
And it is the only way
D G
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
D A D
To ponder his death and his life eternally

Em A D Em A
For all of you who must discover for all who seek to
D
understand
Em A D C G For having left the path of others, you find a very special
A
hand

D G
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
D A
And it is the only way
D G
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
D A D
To ponder his death and his life eternally

D
One bright blue rose outlives all those
G
Two thousand years and still it goes
D A D
To ponder his death and his life eternally
