Orpheus - David Sylvian transcribed by Stefano, barleycorn@infinito.it another version of this song, not perfect but with some mistakes fixed hey, can anyone provide a good transcription of "When The Poets Dreamed Of Angels"' E C A F
E Standing firm on this stoney ground The wCind blows hard, pulls these clothes around I hAarbour all the same worries as most The temptFations to leave or to give up the ghost I wrDestle with an Bmoutlook of life That shGifts between darkness and shadowy light I stFruggle with words for fear that they'll hear But OGrpheus sleeps on his back still dead to the wAorld.
Sunlight falls, my wings open wide There's a beauty here I cannot deny And bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs Are just so many people I knew never cared Down below on the wreck of the ship Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide As Orpheus keeps to his promise and stays by my side.
TelFl me, I've sGtill a lot to learn UndFerstand, these Gfires never stop BelFieve me, when tGhis joke is tired of laughing I will Fhear The promise oGf my OrpheusBb sing. A
E C A F, 2 times Sleepers sleep as we row the boat Just you the weather and I gave up hope But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps Were fuel for the fire and straw for our backs Still the voices have stories to tell Of the power struggles in heaven and hell But we feel secure against such mighty dreams As Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bring. F G F G Tell me, I've still a lot to learn Understand, these fires never stop Believe me, when this joke is tired of laughing I will hear The promise of my Orpheus sing.
