    Verse 1
    Over 
    the slow 
    slide 

    of continents 

    Over 
    the 
    salt 
    pans 
    pipelines masts 

    and pavilions 

    Shimmering 
    crescent 
    moon 

    recedes 
    into 
    working 
    dawn 

    Lone 
    crow 
    again
    st pallid 
    sky 

    Single 
    plume 
    of 
    white smoke 

    on yellow 
    speckled 
    plain 

    Yellowing 
    leaves 
    sparkle 

    in 
    cold 
    breeze 

    Wave 
    patterns 
    among 
    wave patterns 

    Particles 
    disperse 
    and 
    rejoin 

    Dis
    solve 
    and 
    reform 

    like the lining 
    of a 
    wom
    b 

    Still 

    The 
    cold 
    of your 
    absence 

    blows 
    from 

    The silent 
    TV, 
    the 
    parking 
    lot 

    The balcony 
    with clothes 
    waving 

    good- 
    bye 
    an
    d 
    hello 

    Verse 2

    In 
    the 
    rising 
    day 

    You 
    keep fading 
    away 

    Don't 
    I 
    know 
    that 
    you're 

    always 
    around 

    I 
    can 
    reach 
    you 
    if 
    I 
    try 

    Lily 
    of 
    the midnight 
    sky 

    Verse 3

    Solders 
    of sun
    rise, 

    shooting 
    in
    to a 
    forest 
    of flowers 

    Slow 
    motion 

    Petals 
    float 
    in
    to 
    pink 
    crim
    son 
    white 

    Grow 
    wings 

    Flutter into 
    mountainous 
    distance 

    Flutter 
    like 
    a stadium 
    full 

    of applauding 
    hands 

    I raise 
    a fist 
    to the 
    marauding 

    sun 
    that 
    has hidden 
    you away 

    I'm 
    the 
    rag 
    in a bottle 
    of gasoline 

    Longing 
    to 
    ignite 

    Achilles 

    All 
    of you, 
    shin
    ing 
    on the pan

    ther 
    skin 
    of night 

    Mirrored 
    in 
    a black 
    lake 
    in a night 

    Verse 4
    that glistens 
    like 
    blood on 
    gold 

    Nobody 
    else 
    could 
    be 
    you 

    If 
    only 
    I 
    could see 
    you 

    I 
    should 
    be 
    able 
    to touch 

    you 
    some
    how 

    I 
    can 
    reach 
    you 
    if 
    I 
    try 

    Lily 
    of the 
    midnight 
    sky 

    Verse 5

    While 
    you 
    look 
    from 
    on 
    high 

    Spare 
    a smile 
    as 
    I 

    Put 
    on 
    my 
    dog 
    mask 
    and 
    howl 
    for 
    you 

    I 
    can 
    reach 
    you 
    if 
    I 
    try 

    Lily 
    of 
    the midnight 
    sky

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
