Cover my eyes, with the rags of my life

The frontiers are falling, it's time to be slipping

All things blow by me, my sorrows have sails

Bridge:

Bbm              E
What am I to do,  Don't leave me

Bbm                   E
What is there to say,  I really...We're just wasting

B      Gb           D              A
Ti-i-i-ime, Let the night take its place

B         Gb            D
Colour my eyes with the dusk of this wonderful

B       C
day –ay ay

Let's slip away –ay ay

            B
Let's slip away –ay ay

Verse 3:

G            C          D         G
Letters from lovers are lining my gate

Some came too early and some came too late

Chorus 1:

      C            B              C
Were you speaking,     Or did you say

    G              C            D
The frontiers have fallen, it's time to be slipping away

       D
As you call me, My hands they fall open

   D
My mouth it is frozen, The chrysalis tumbles

    D
I'm falling, Slow motion

Dissolve
