Larkspur And Lazarus Chords by Current 93

_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ The empty streets, _ _ _ the songs of twilight, _ _ _ _ the clouds [Eb] at rest, _ _ _ _ the church [F] bells [Dm] chiming,
_ _ _ a [Gm] scarecrow shudders _ and _ _ _ songbirds tremble.
_ _ [Eb] I looked _ _ _ at you and saw [G] it's time.
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The [Gm] faded flowers, _ _ _ the faded pictures, _ _ _ _ of faded _ lives.
_ _ _ Your [Dm] body waiting _ and _ _ _ _ [Eb] unfulfilled, _ _ _ with no [G] [F] regrets,
_ and _ _ _ _ [Gm] empty heart _ _ _ _ and head in [Dm] hands. _ _ _
[D] I heard [Eb] _ _
them say today _
[Gm] it's time. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The [Gm] sunset heavy _ on _ Mother [Dm] Mountain, _ _ _ _ the cattle lowing, _ _ _ the [Dm] cattle dreaming,
_ _ _ _ the [Eb] endless rain _ _ _ in [F] haunted airs.
Your _ _ [Dm] loss [Gm] of hope, _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ we [Eb] were shown, _ _ we were shown _ it's only [Gm] time. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
The smell [Gm] of rain, _ _ _ the twilight [Dm] leaning, _ _ _ _ _ _ against [Gm] your lips, _ _ _ _ water [Dm] wheels turning,
_ the _ _ [Eb] forests brooding.
_ _ [Gm] You took my [F] hand [Dm] _ _ _ _
and [Gm] pointed full of pain, _ _ but fishes [Dm] dying. _ _ _
[D] You saw [Eb] _ the _ sign that this [Gm] was time. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I [Gm] waited years for you, _ or so it [Dm] seemed, _ _ _ _ _ and stumbled [Gm] through your world, _
_ praying [Dm] for just one kiss _ to stop [Eb] my fall from grace _ and shelter [Dm] in your palm.
_ _ _ You [Gm] gave me _ everything, _ _ both lock [Dm] and key.
_ _ [D] The oil [Eb]
clouds, _ see, _ it's only [Gm] time. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _
If I could [Gm] have one wish, _ _ as in [Dm] the fairy tales, _ _ _ I would [Gm] unmake my past,
_ _ and rise [Dm] like Lazarus, _ _ and stand [Eb] in sunlight, _ _ _ and banish [F] all the dark
[Dm] _ _
that locked [Gm] my face away, _ _ _ and say to [Dm] you again, _ _ [Eb] oh that, _ _ _ [Eb] _
that was only [Gm] _ time. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So [Gm] willow weep not for me, _ and oak bend [Dm] not for me,
_ _ _ though [Gm] others died for us _ _ and in [Dm] our place. _
_ _ _ Though in [Eb] the secret heart, _ _
[Gm] raw wound, [F] raw sore sore,
[Dm] _ _ _ I heard [Gm] the news today, _ _ _ _ [Dm] whispered in the dark, _
_ _ [Eb] at last, _ _ at last we know [Gm] it's time.
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I knew at [Gm]
last, _ _ _ _ it's only [Dm] time. _
All _ _ coming [Eb] glory, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ end [Gm] of story. _ _ _ _ _
