If we could see these many waves That flow through clouds and sunken caves
She'd sense at least the words that sought her On the wind and underwater
Jam: Starts out with main theme, but segues into an A-D jam - 2 bars (8 beats) D with 4 bars (16 beats)
of A - the "uneven" bars add tension.
Return to main theme play 2x
Back to ☠☠*, repeat theme, fade out on "on the wind and underwater " Published:
