The dreamer and the wine
Poet without a rhyme
A widowed writer
Gm     Bb                   C  Dm
Torn apart by chains of hell

One last perfect verse is still the same old song
                           Gm          Bb           Gm
Oh, Christ, how I hate what I have become
              Bb     C
Take me home....

Dm                          C
Get away, run away, fly away
Dm                                       C
Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
Eb                                           
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
Bb
I cannot die
      A5 Ab5 G5 Gb5 F5 E5 Eb5
I, a whore for the cold world
Dm                                    C
Forgive me, I have but two faces
Dm                                            C
One for the world, one for God, save me
Gm
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
Bb                      F                  C
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

Dm
My home was there n' then 
Those meadows of Heaven
                           Gm
Adventure-filled days
               Bb            C    Dm
One with every smiling face

Please, no more words
Thoughts from a severed head
No more praise
Gm        Bb                           Gm
Tell me once my heart goes right
              Bb     C
Take me home....

Dm                          C
Get away, run away, fly away
Dm                                       C
Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
Eb                                           
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
Bb
I cannot die
      A5 Ab5 G5 Gb5 F5 E5 Eb5
I, a whore for the cold world
Dm                                    C
Forgive me, I have but two faces
Dm                                            C
One for the world, one for God, save me
Gm
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
Bb                         F                C
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

Cm     Gm      Cm      Gm        Bb                     F
Spar....kle my scen....ery with turquoise waterfall
        Cm               Gm
With beauty underneath
              Eb       F
The Ever Free......
              Bb                    F/A
Tuck me in beneath the blue
                   Gm
Beneath the pain
                   F
Beneath the rain
                 Bb                      F/A
Goodnight kiss for a child in time
             Gm     Eb        F          Gm
Swaying blade......my lullaby.....

Cm        Gm         Cm       Gm
One the shore we sat and hoped
     Bb                        F
Under the same pale moon 
           Bb                              F
Whose guiding light chose you
                    Eb               Gm
Chose you all...................

"I'm afraid, I'm so afraid...............
                      Eb
I just wish the tide would catch me first
                       D                                      Gm
And give me a death I always longed for."

Second robber to the right of Christ
Cut in half - infanticide
The world will rejoice today
As the crows feast on the rotting poet

Everyone must bury their own
No pack to bury the heart of stone
Now he's home in hell, serves him well
Slain by the bell tolling for his farewell

Dm
The morning dawned upon his alter
Remains of the dark passion play
Gm
Performed by his friends without shame
Bb
Spitting on his grave as they came

Dm                          C
Get away, run away, fly away
Dm                                       C
Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
Eb                                           
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
Bb
I cannot die
      A5 Ab5 G5 Gb5 F5 E5 Eb5
I, a whore for the cold world
Dm                                    C
Forgive me, I have but two faces
Dm                                            C
One for the world, one for God, save me
Gm
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
Bb                        F                       C                            
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

Be still, my son

You're home
                      F                       Gm
Oh, when did you become so cold?
Eb                  Bb                F7     Gm
The blade will keep on descending
Eb                        Bb     F7    Gm
All you need is to feel my love

                 F                          Gm      
Search for beauty, find your shore
                           F                  Gm
Try to save them all, bleed no more
Eb                   Bb       F7     Gm
You have such oceans within
Eb                      Bb      F7     Gm
In the end, I will always love you

"The beginning..."
