Intro:
Am Em F Em x2
Verse 1:
Am Em
Procession moves on, the shouting is over
F Am
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone
Am Em
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables
F Am
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain
Am Em
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden
F Am
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky
Am Em
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment
F Am
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside
Interlude:
Am Em F Em x4
Verse 2:
Am Em
Cry like a child, though these years make me older
F Am
With children my time is so wastefully spent
Am Em
A burden to keep, though their inner communion
F Am
Accept like a curse an unlucky deal
Am Em
Played by the gate at the foot of the garden
F Am
My view stretches out from the fence to the wall
Am Em
No words could explain, no actions determine
F Em
Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall
