Verse 1
Dm 
F 
Dm 
I pray to a candle in the dark
F 
Em 
For a safe escape for me and my babe
Dm 
Am 
F 
Dm 
The light against my breast at  night
F 
As I dreamt of air and
Dm 
F 
Em 
taking flight
Am 
Dm 
And where does it fly?
It is leading me home
Am 
Dm 
And what is your home?
Well, I never have known
Am 
Em 
So why would you go
Dm 
F 
Dm 
And flee the home that keeps you fed
F 
Em 
And leave your bones up in the end
Dm 
To flee the hand that's
F 
Dm 
crushing me
F 
Em 
And find the trickle that leads to the sea
Am 
Then why couldn't you leave
Dm 
There is shadow in me
Am 
Dm 
And how can you stay?
Cause I'm always afraid
Am 
Em 
Dm 
G 
F 
Dm 
Of fading away
Em 
F 
Dm 
G 
Dm 
F 
Dm 
F 
Dm 
And now I'm caring that I'm gone
F 
Em 
A grave diluted and unclothed
Dm 
F 
Dm 
I join them dying every night
F 
Em 
Sleeping in boxes, winter arrives
Dm 
F 
Dm 
And no  one notices the cold
Like the mater of sand
F 
Em 
around the seashore
Dm 
Like the grass that grew
F 
Dm 
once the drought brought the sand
Like the birds in Greece
F 
Em 
once the famine began
Am 
Dm 
And where did they fly?
Am 
Dm 
Am 
Em 
And what is your heart?
Dm 
Am 
Dm 
I want so much to swim in  love
F 
Em 
And find the cloud where it grows
Dm 
F 
Dm 
And see the ocean from above
F 
Em 
And dissolve the fear of letting go
Am 
Dm 
And where would you land
In the night of the earth?
Am 
Dm 
And what is the light?
It's the master of day
Am 
Dm 
And what is the day?
It is always afraid
Am 
Of fading away
