Born from the night in the roaring wind

Cast out of the shadows by an unknown hand
Cm
Warmed by the light of these falling limbs

Drunk on the sadness of a universe unmanned

Across the water she clings to me
AE
and in the rising calm I feel her at my side
Cm
My father's singing in the fallin' leaves
AE
about the complicated beauty of a river run dry.

Overcome this madness
E
if I don't know for sure

Across the water she clings to me
A
and in the light of dawn

I see her at my side

My father's singing in the fallin' leaves
