Captured in stained glass, young lives long since passed
BmBm 
E7E7

D7D7
Statues of lovers every place
Gmaj7Gmaj7 Cadd9Cadd9 Gmaj7Gmaj7 Cadd9Cadd9
I went all across the continent to relieve this restless love
Am7Am7 Bm7Bm7 CC F#7F#7
I walked through the ruins, icons of glory

Smashed by the bombs from above

Leisure and toil, still it's canvas and oil

There's just no medium for life
Gmaj7Gmaj7 Cadd9Cadd9 Gmaj7Gmaj7 Cadd9Cadd9
In the midst of the rubble I felt a sense of rebirth
Am7Am7 Bm7Bm7 CC F#7F#7
In a dusty cathedral the living god called

And I prayed for my life here on earth

Gmaj7Gmaj7 Cadd9Cadd9 Gmaj7Gmaj7 Cadd9Cadd9
There are mountains in Switzerland, brilliant cold as they stand
Am7Am7 Bm7Bm7 CC F#7F#7
From my hotel room, watching the half-moon
BmBm E7E7 AmAm D7D7
Bleeding its light like a lamb
Gmaj7Gmaj7 Cadd9Cadd9 Gmaj7Gmaj7 Cadd9Cadd9
And the town is illumined, its tiny figures are fast asleep
Am7Am7 Bm7Bm7 CC F#7F#7
And it dawns on me the time is upon me
BmBm E7E7 AmAm
To return to the flock I must keep
