G+G C majorC
An old bearded oak of a man in the street yells
"A storm is coming soon"

The weather man says it will never rain again
G+G
By their own respective philosophies, one of them's just a body
C majorC
Reading teleprompts in two-piece suits
E minorEm C majorC A minorAm
One of them is too strange and splendid for any to comprehend
Chorus:
G+G
I feel something's coming for me

Is this death or glory that hangs like lightning in the air?

It's been years of barren skies

But I see dark horizons draped like night beyond this glare

Out there at the edge of town, where the wind whips up
C majorC
Whispering my name
E minorEm C majorC
I walk the streets of this withered and wicked land

My shadow darkens the door of a place I ain't been before

E minorEm C majorC A minorAm
Throwing rocks at the rooks with these brittle and broken hands

I was scared I might be lost in the flood but now
C majorC E minorEm D MajorD
I see more than that, I'm just longing for love in this land so dry
Verse 3:
G+G
In the dark of the night I woke with a start, and I
C majorC
Stared across the room
E minorEm C majorC
But all I saw was this dream burned across my brain

From here to the ocean there was a field of roses, and I
C majorC
Watched them burst and bloom

I saw them wither and fade but revive
C majorC
When they felt the rain start to fall

G+G
I feel something's coming for me

But I see dark horizons draped like night beyond this glare
