Lead me well, don't clear my way

Fascinating how the pallor can stay upon your face
             Em7                   A7
When you are light like a little boy, so light

He led us down, at the water's edge we knelt
Em7    (Fast                )
    Petals in the lake, and red upon my face
       A7
She is crying as we pray

and it all comes down to money again
