Verse 1:
D6 C#7
Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end

Sun digs its heels to taunt you
G Edim
But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same

Rises the moon
Verse 2:

Memories swim and haunt you

But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke

Oh close your weary eyes

To darken fading summer skies

Breathe breathe breathe
Verse 3:
D6 C#7
Days pull you down just like a sinking ship

Floating is getting harder
G Edim
But tread the water child, and know that meanwhile
D6 Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7
Rises the moon
Verse 4:
D6 C#7
Days pull you up just like a daffodil
D6 D7
Uprooted from its garden
G Edim
They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so

Rises the moon

You'll be visited by sleep
Edim
I promise you that soon the autumn comes

To steal away each dream you keep
Edim D6 Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7
Breathe breathe breathe
