[Verse 1]
SpGirit of my silence I can hCear you
But I’m afraid to be nDear you
And I don’t knCow whGere to beCgin
And I don’t knAmow whGere to beCgin
SoGmewhere in the desert there’s a fCorest
And an acre befDore us
But I don’t knCow whGere to beCgin
But I don’t knAmow whGere to beCgin
[Bridge 1]
Again I’ve lost my strength complDetely,
oh be nCear me,
TGired old maCre with the wind in your hAmair G C
[Verse 2]
AmGethyst and flowers on the tCable,
is it real or a fDable?
Well I suppCose a frGiend is a frCiend
And we all kAmnow hGow this will eCnd
ChGimney swift that finds me, be my kCeeper
Silhouette of the cDedar
What is that sCong you sGing for the dCead?
What is that sAmong you sGing for the dCead?
[Bridge 2]
I see the signal searchlight strDike me
in the wCindow Gof my rCoom
Well I got nothing to pAmrove G C
Well I got nothing to pAmrove G C
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
I Gforgive you, mother, I can hCear you
And I long to be nDear you
But every rCoad lGeads to an eCnd
Yes every roAmad leGads to an eCnd
[Bridge 3]
Your apparition passes thrDough me
in the wCillows:
FGive red hCens—you’ll never see us agaAmin G C
You’ll never see us aAmgain G C
