Spirit of my silence, I [A] can hear you, but I'm afraid to [B] be near you.
[E] And I [F#m] don't know [E] where to [A] begin.
And I [F#m] don't know [E] where to [A] begin.
[E]
Somewhere in the desert, there's [A] a forest and an acre [E] before us.
But I [F#m] don't know [E] where to [A] begin.
But I [F#m] don't know [E] where to [A] begin.
Again I lost my [Em] strength [B] completely.
Oh [F#m] be near me, [E] tired old mare, with the wind in [F#m] your hair.

[E] Amethyst and flowers on [A] the table.
Is it real [E] or a phase above?
Well I [F#m] suppose [E] a friend [A] is a friend.
And we [F#m] all know [E] how this [A] will end.

Chimney swift that finds me, be [A] my keeper.
[G#m] Silhouette of the sea, he does.
What is [F#m] that song [E] you sing for [A] the dead?
What is [F#m] that song [E] you sing for [A] the dead?
I see the signal [E]
[B] searchlight strike in the [F#m] window [E] of [A] my room.
[E] Well I got nothing [F#m] to prove.

[E] I forgive you mother, I [F#m] can hear you.
And I long [B] to be near you.
But [F#m] every road [E] leads [A] to an end.
Yes [F#m] every road [E] leads [A] to an end.
Your apparition [E]
[B] passes through me.
In the [F#m] willows, [E] five [A] red hens.
[E] You'll never see [F#m] us again.
