The warming sun, the cooling rain,
      F        G               C              D9 (x5755x)
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
D              G                  Em       A
The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
F         G              C         D9
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through.
F             Bb         C        F
The words of love, the cries of hate,
Bb       Am         Bb         F
And the man in the moon who seduced you
      Bb      F
Then finally loosed you.

You climbed upon a burning rope to escape the mob below,

But you had put the flaming out so that others could not follow,

To be out of the bounds and the barks of those who do not wish you well.

You must blaze a trail of your own,         unknown,        alone,

But keep in mind

Don't live to-day for tomorrow like you were immortal.
The only survivors on this world of ours are

The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
D              G                  Em       A
The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you

Then finally loosed you.

(whole solo part so far twice)

You're old and disillusioned now as you realise at last,

That all you have accomplished here will have soon all turned to dust.

You dream of a future after life, well that's a maybe, I don't know.

But you cant take what you left behind, you're all alone.

So keep in mind

Don't live to-day for tomorrow like you were immortal.
