Intro: E C D E [x2]

E               C              D         E
Day dawns dark, it now numbers infinity.
E                          C
Life crawls from the past, watching in wonder
D                       E
I trace its patterns in me.
A          G
Tomorrow's tomorrow is birth again.
G7              A#
Boats burn the bridge in the fens;
A                    G             G7
the time of the past returns to my life
E   F  G  A  E
and uses it.

E              C                        D             E
Don't blame me for the letters that may form in the sand;
E                              C
don't look in my eyes, you may see all the numbers
     D                     E
that stretch in my sky and colour my hand.
A                  G
Don't say that I'm wrong in imagining
G7                   A#
that the voice of my life cannot sing.
A               G            G7
Fate enters and talks in old words:
E    F  G  A   E
they amuse it.

Solo: E F G A E [x5]

E                      C
Hands shine darkly and white;
D                    E
only in dark do they appear.
E              C
Bless the baby born today,
D                E
flying in pitch, flying on fear.
A                G
They shine in my eyes and touch my face
G7                     A#
where I have seen them placed before;
A                               G          G7
don't blame me, please, for the fate that falls:
E  F       G     A   E
I did not choose it.
E          F
I did not, no, no, I did not,
G               A      E
I truly did not choose it.
