[Em] [Am] [A] [Am] [Em]
[Am] [A] [Am] [Em]
[Am] I can't answer the questions you ask me, I don't know what to say
The answers are somewhere lost in the [Em] stars, when the [Am] night is turned [A] to day
[D] But I know if the [Bm] silence of night could be here, [F] it would drift through my [Bb] soul and calm all my fear
[Bm] [B] And I could reach [E] out and draw you so near [A] to me
And [Ab] [E] [Em] [Am] [A]
[Am] [Em] [Am] touch me and warm me and I will lie [Em] still
[Am] And all that you [A] ask me to give [Am] you I will
[Em] [Am] One living [A] moment we'll have [Am] for our [Em] own
A [Am] brief flash of [A] time that we spent on our own
[D] But you [G] ask me for [Bm] nothing and give what you can
[F] And we're wrapped in [Bb] a pillow of sleep once again
[Bm] And my memory [E] drifts through the universe when [G] we [Em] are one
[G] [Em] [A]
[D] [A] [Em] Closely we're [G] falling through [Em] [A]
[G] [A] time
[Em] [Am]
[A] [Am] And [Em] the [Am] earth will turn in the silence of space
Always in [A] motion yet [Am] always in place
And all things will [A] change yet [Am] remain [Em] what they are
And [Am] far will be [A] near and near will be far
[D] And the ages will darken [B] and blend into [Bm] time
[F] And all that is poetry [Bb] will no longer rhyme
[B] But our moment [E] together is forever [Em] sublime
[Am]
[A] [Am] For the time has arrived when we must [Em] understand
[Am] That we're lost in [A] a void on [Am] this sad speck of sand
And nobody knows where we are, no one cares
And the tears that [A] we shed in the dark no one shares
[D] And the madmen who [Bm] plunder this world for their fame
[F]
Have forgotten that [Bb] no one remembers their name
[Bm] But time and the [B] universe [E] are always the [Em] same
Closely
[B] we're falling [F]
[B] [Cm] through [B] time
[Eb] [Am]
[C]
