[Dm]           [C]           [A#]           [C]           [Dm]
[Dm]The air was thick like honey, [C]looking from a room
[A#]The room had [C]open windows, [Dm]to let the springtime through
[Dm]Evening stood by watching, at the [C]side of summers promise
T[A#]he flowers in a [C]garden were the [Dm]envy be of her friends

How [Dm]far are we from dying is it [C]nearly at an end
   How [A#]far are we from [C]dying is it [Dm]nearly at an end

[Dm]The smog hung on the skylines, the[C] city fell in silence
The [A#]sunset ripe and [C]mellow, was the[Dm] ligth to write thoughts by
[Dm]Her children watch for father, from the [C]window in the wall
[A#]said a prayer for [C]grandpapa and [Dm]mabye many more

[Dm]Somewhere in the distance, on the [C]road so far away
I [A#]heard the sound of [C]life, though the [Dm]people left for home

{comment:Solo}

[Dm]Three birds flew off a building, standing ['][C]proud against the sky
[A#]Many for flew with [C]them are, spiralled [Dm]upward like laughter
[Dm]Faster, harder, the [C]rose up in a column
[A#]hundrets upon hundrets, and [Dm]twice that many wingsspeed

[Dm]Four miles accross, stretched a [C]millions miles high
The [A#]living pulsing [C][']column in the [Dm]lady of the sky
[Dm]Feathers trash together [C]locked in that huge one
I [A#]knew no one coul[C]d see it and n[Dm]ow that it was is gone

[Dm]I rubbed my eyes and tried to find the [C]reason for the fly
[A#]Exodus es[C]cape or was it j[Dm]ust for me to see
[Dm]Like the mating of the earth and air
[C]Like water is to flowers the [A#]envy of her frien[C]ds

How far are we from [Dm]dying is it nearly at an end
[Dm]How far are we from dying is it [C]nearly at an end
 How [A#]far are we from [C]dying is it [Dm]nearly at an end
How [A#]far are we from [C]dying is it [Dm]nearly at an end
