[VERSE 1]
Dm F C7/E Dm
Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk
Bb F C Dm
in tongues from the time before man
F C7/E F
listen to a daffodil tell her tale
Gm Bb C Dm
Let the guest in, walk out, be the first to greet the morn
F C7/E Dm
The meadows of heaven await harvest
Bb F C Dm
the cliffs un-jumped cold waters untouched
F C7/E F
The elsewhere creatures yet unseen
Gm
Finally your number came up
Bb C Dm
Free fall awaits the brave.

Come, taste the wine, race the blind

we will guide you from the light,
Bbsus2 C C Bb C
writing naughts till the end of time..
Dm F C
Come, surf the clouds, race the dark,
Gm Dm
it feeds from the runs undone,
Bbsus2 F C
meet me where the cliff greets the sea...

[VERSE 2]
Dm F C7/E Dm
The answer to the riddle before your eyes
Bb F C Dm
is in dead leaves and fleeting skies
F C7/E F
returning swans and sedulous mice
Gm
writings on the garden's book
Bb C Dm
in the minute of a lover's look.
F C/E Gm Dm
Building a sandcastle close to the shore
Bb F C Dm
A house of cards from a worn out deck.
F C/E Bb F
A home from the fellowship, poise and calm,
Gm Bb C Dm
writing lyrics for the song only you can understand..

Writing noughts till the end of time
Come
Surf the clouds, race the dark
It feeds from the runs undone
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
