Trying to see from in this room where it is blinding

Cmaj7
I heard singing at twilight
Am
Trailed by belongings

I crawled forward into a clearing at dusk

And got a huge fire growing

It grew, night fell, and I kept throwing

Whatever I could pick up into the flames

Cmaj7
Nothing but me and all this shredded wood
Am G
I've been pulling into a heap of flames and smoke
F
This is my life and by now I've lived long enough
Am
To know that nothing's stronger than the blow
Am
The whipping wind, the way it tears
Am9 F
The sparks are full in the sky yawning open
Am7 Em G/D
Breath only very rarely song
πΈ Chorus:
Cmaj7
You were singing at twilight
Am
With your fingers moving
G
And I heard the same song in a dream
F
And I sing it now to myself.
Am
I carry it into the night.
Am
I walk and there's a fire but it's at my back

Am7 | Em | Am7 | Em |
Am7 | Em | Am7 | Cmaj7 |
πΈ Outro:
Cmaj7 Am
Three days of heavy rain
G
And there's still coals
