How many times I've watched the sun

Sunlight burns on the water, the blues

Fall on you like a word unmade

Never to be the same

It was slow but for so long

I watched every gain I thought I'd made

Tumble to the ground, hmm-mmm

Never to be the same
[Post-Chorus]

It was slow, true and tried

What we've known, I'll carry that through time

Love affirms the pain of life, mmm
[Vocalizing interlude]

Ohhhhh ohhhhh

Your love filled me like the summer ground

Passed me like the rising sign

And I get so nostalgic for you sometimes

(I'm not sure if it's Julie playing it or a bass of some sort, but there are
quarter note A#s
during the verse over the higher guitar part. You can play these at 5 on the
lowest string)

Beside you, I drank from the pitcher of life
Whisper as not to wake the land
Timeless and wide in the middle of the night
I wanna sing again
How many times I've watched the sun
Rise and die, you know I've been alone
Sunlight burns on the water, the blues
Fall on you like a word unmade
Never to be the same
It was slow but for so long
I watched every gain I thought I'd made
Tumble to the ground
Silence through the rooms of this house
Hold every answer ever come at the end
Timeless and wide in the middle of the night
Am I just waiting for you all over again?
How many times I've watched the sun
Rise and die, you know I've been alone
Sunlight burns on the water, the blues
Fall on you like a word unmade
Never going to be the same
It was slow, true and tried
What we've known, I'll carry that through time
Love affirms the pain of life
Your love filled me like the summer ground
Passed me like the rising sign
And I get so nostalgic for you sometimes
