Verse 1
Though I know (G/B) that evenings empire (A/E)
has (D major) returned into sand (G/B)
(D major) Vanished from my hand (G/B)
Left me blindly (D major) here to stand (G/B)
but still (E minor7) not (A/E) sleeping
My (G/B) weariness amazes (A/E) me,
I am (D major) branded on my (G/B) feet
I have (D major) no one to meet (G/B)
And the ancient (D major) empty street's (G/B) too dead (E minor7)
for dreaming (A/E)

Take (G/B) me on a trip (A/E)
upon your (D major) magic swirling ship (G/B)
My (D major) senses have been (G/B) stripped
My hands (D major) can't feel to grip (G/B)
My toes (D major) too numb to (G/B) step
Wait (D major) only for my boot (E minor7) heels to be wandering (A/E)
I'm (G/B) ready to go anywhere, (A/E)
I'm (D major) ready for to fade (G/B)
In (D major) to my own parade (G/B)

Verse 3
Though you might (G/B) hear laughing,
spinning, (A/E) swinging (D major) madly across the sun (G/B)
It's not aimed (D major) at anyone (G/B)
It's just escaping (D major) on the run (G/B)
And but for (D major) the sky
there are (G/B) no (E minor7) fences facing (A/E)
And if (G/B) you hear vague (A/E) traces
of (D major) skipping reels of rhyme (G/B)
To your tambourine (D major) in time (G/B)
It's just a (D major) ragged clown behind (G/B)
I wouldn't (D major) pay it any mind (G/B)
It's just a (D major) shadow you're seeing (E minor7)
that he's chasing (A/E)

The (D major) haunted frightened trees (G/B)
Out (D major) to the windy beach (G/B)
Far from (D major) the twisted reach (G/B) of (E minor7) crazy (A/E) sorrow
Yes, to dance (G/B) beneath the (A/E) diamond sky
With one (D major) hand waving (G/B) free
Silhouet (D major) ted by the sea (G/B)
Circled by (D major) the circus sands (G/B)
With all (D major) memory and (G/B) fate
Driven (D major) deep beneath the waves (G/B)
Let me for (D major) get about today (E minor7) until (A/E) tomorrow
