C G C A G D
Verse:
G
Anna sits beside her research
G
Silence in the dappled moonlight
C
Sleeping cat and dying fire
C
Embers of the past conspire
A
All her books are closed and scattered
A G D
And she feels that nothing matters to her
G
Outside this dream her sister frequents
G
Like a cobweb catching fragments
C
She approaches like a vision
C
She says "Anna, do you hear me?"
A
But the picture's always shuttered
A G D
All the distant thoughts that flutter to her
Chorus:
C
I can see them all, I can hear them call
C G
And as she falls I lean to say good-bye
C
Breathing all the wasted hours
C
Talking to the dying flowers
C
Dwarfed by spires and tangled towers
C D
We don't ask the reason why
Verse:
G
Anna comes and goes in shadows
G
Paintings of the open windows
C
Her photograph is always faded
C
Her sister's eyes are blank and shaded
A
Don't you understand her science
A G D
Merging in a strange alliance to her
G
We're together in the future
G
You and I and her together
C
All our fated are intermingled
C
We are plural, we are single
A
We are leaving for a meeting
E Bm G D
And last seen the weather sleeting for her
