The Lily

Dm   C F   C Am
Dm     F   C Am Dm
          F                  C
I left a sign with a candle
       Am               Dm
In the streetlight that shone below
                  F
Where through the night
                 C            Dm
The people dance in linen and smoke
  Bb                 C          Dm
I still remember her song in my head
     Am
Each palm in time
      Bb
Every face in that light
         C      Dm
As their mouths bellowed

Dm F Am Dm
Dm F Am Dm
                                      F
Now they tell me she's just vanished
               C        Am   Dm
Some other place by the sea
                            F
But to me she was banished
         C        Am   Dm
By herself not by me
             Bb
And though I still remember
    C                Dm
The streetlights are low
    Am
Now dull in the night
        Bb
And the dance has gone quiet
        C         Dm
But the sea still bellows

Dm F Am Dm
Dm F Am Bb C
Dm   Bb   C
Dm   Bb
        F         Dm    Bb
See the island on fire
        C   Dm    Bb
And the towers align;
         C        Dm    Bb
Built in silos of sea
      C      Dm      Bb
Underneath every street
     C          Dm     Bb
Lily spoke of a city's bones
           C         Dm       Bb        Dm
An ancient rubble of time and stone
          Bb                            Am
Where the walls tremor under the sky
        Bb                              Am
Covered day after day by the tide
        Bb
Could I save them if I tried?
C         Dm
If only I could
F Gm
             C                Dm
We shine our light across the ocean
                     Gm
A Troy this city has burned
             C                Dm
We shine our light across the ocean
                     Gm
A fire on ships will return
             C       Dm   Gm
We shine our light
             C       Dm   Gm
We shine our light
             C       Dm   Gm
We shine our light
