I can’t explain it. I couldn’t if I tried

And hasn’t died down yet

Verse 1:
C majorC G+G
Oh yah, now didn’t we, and don’t we make it shine
C majorC G+G
Aren’t we standing in the centre of

Something rare and fine

Some glow like embers

or light thru coloured glass

Some give it all in one great flame
D MajorD
Throwing kisses as they pass

C majorC G+G
Just east of Eden, But there’s heaven in our midst

And we’re never really all that far
D MajorD
From those we love and miss

Wade out in the water

The wisest say there’s a thousand ways
D MajorD
To kneel and kiss the ground
