Mim
 The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Re/Mi
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky
Do/Mi
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers
    Mim                         Re/Mi             Mim
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking

He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
       Re/Mi
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
     Do/Mi
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
      Mim                        Re/Mi
It's not enough, it's not enough

Mim  Re/Mi  Do/Mi  Mim Re/Mi Mim Re/Mi

    Mim
His blood has frozen and curdled with fright
    Re/Mi
His knees have trembled and given way in the night
    Do/Mi
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
    Mim                Re/Mi  Mim  Re/Mi
His step has faltered

One world,   one soul

Time pass, the river roll

       Mim
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
    Re/Mi
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Do/Mi
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
  Mim                Re/Mi        Mim  Re/Mi
A grim intimation of what is to be
           Mim
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
    Re/Mi
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
    Do/Mi
And silence that speaks so much louder than words
   Mim             Re/Mi
Of promises broken
