C Cadd4 C
Under the silence of water,
C Cadd4 C
Into a sky full of birds
C Cadd4 C
Out from the land of our fathers,
Am F
I am falling on your words,
C
Oh...
C Cadd4 C
Dark as the night of a preacher,
C Cadd4 C
I made a bed out of hay
C Cadd4 C
They paid me a handful of money,
Am F
I gave it all away...
C
All away...
F Am
And the righteous raised their stones
F Am
And the devil threw his arrow
F Am
That was longing for a home
Dm F
With nowhere to go,
C
Oh, Theo...
C Cadd4 C
In the half-life of the city,
C Cadd4 C
She took off all of her clothes
C Cadd4 C
I flew from the height of the mountains
Am F
Into a valley of dry bones
C
All alone
F Am
Then my heart was still unknown
F Am
I was drunk and full of sorrows
F Am
I was longing for a home
Dm F
With nowhere to go,
C
Oh, Theo...
C Cadd4 C
So, I set fires of starlight,
C Cadd4 C
To burn up against the despair
C Cadd4 C
I was caught in the tangles of midnight''''s
Am F
Long, unanswered prayer:
C
''''Are you there?''''
F Am
And the light of morning grows
F Am
On a field of fallen sparrows
F Am
I was longing for a home
Dm F
With nowhere to go,
C
Oh, Theo...
