Hymn For The Fallen

G
My ear
Am
Attends to you,
Dm
as a mother hears
Am
while her children sleep.

G
Now look:
Am
See how they're dreaming?
Dm
The black reciter reads
Am
while the children dream.
G             D
Don't       go
Am
So deep in slumber,
Em
Where you'll shy.
Am        C          G
Know you'll wander in sleep.
        Am                  D
Don't you fly          too far away.

G          Am
Some men die
C          Am
without crying--
Dm              Am                G
Suffering so long         and alone.
C          Em           Am
Softly, children, dry your eyes.
C                 G
Gently, children, be wise.

G
My ear attends to you,
Am
as a mother hears
Dm
all her children's fears.
G
So don't cry;
Am
all will wash away
G
when we pray.
Am
Soon, soon, soon, soon, soon.
Am                       C
So if it's okay, I'll wait with you a while.
G
The sun begins to shine.

C                          Em
Oh, look: Your wings are broken,
Dm       Am         G
But never a lie was spoken.
C            Am           Em
The murdered thing is love, you see--
Am                G
Drifting on a lake of memory.
C             Am                C
Now sleep. Close your eyes and have no fear;
G
A wide blue sky is very near.

G
My ear
Am
Attends to you,
Dm
As a mother hears
Am
All her children's fears.

G
So don't cry;
Dm
All will wash away
G
When we pray.
