Verse 2
(C minor) once,
(C major) The dream has (G major) yet to en (C major) d
It was a purple evening such as this,
the (C minor) curtains had been pulled by a hand unattached
I lay (C major) propped on a (B major) pillow of eagle feathers on a couch
framed with the skeletons of my uncles and great uncles
I did not intend to close my
eyes but then I did
The night (C major) is falling on the moist (C minor) palms
(C major) of children too weak to bear it's weight
The stars are visibly breathing in fact (B major) they
almost (C major) look as if they are chewing gum
(B major) The moon is crescented on both sides
while its center remains unseen
I can faintly hear my mother calling me,
or is that my sister singing songs of the railroad?
(C major) (B major) Robeson is reflected in a
floating mir (C major) ror
Then I realize that the mirror is not floating but being (B major) pulled by a white
(C major) horse and in great golden chari (B minor) ot, (B major) the horse has human feet
I look (G major) down at my (B major) feet and they are hooves. (B minor) When I look (B major) up it is no longer night,
the sun covers the entire (C major) sky as if it were stretched to (C5) reach all (C major) corners, flames are visible but not threatening.
A girl brushes (C minor) my knee with her tail, (C major) she is wearing (B major) pink overalls and rollerblades, she signals for me to follow her,
as soon as I take a step towards her I'm flying.
(C minor) There are rocky
Verse 3
mountains below me, (C major)
I decide to land in a small settlement between mountains
A man walks up (C minor) to me, he is my (C major) father but he (B major) introduces himself as John Galt. I ask him if he is the
Reverend John Galt. we begin to say the Lord's prayer (C minor) together, (B major) the whole world seems to join (C major) in
The (C5) mountains (C major) have (C minor) mouths;
I am standing at an altar,
(C major) it takes (C minor) a second to realize I'm getting married
The woman beside (C major) me, my bride, (B major)
is sitting in lotus position on an Indian silk (C major) pillow
She is (B major) holding a white umbrella over her head, I (C major) cannot see her, I keep (B major) whispering to her,
It's okay (C major) love, (G major) it's (B major) okay love? and she (C minor) keeps shushing me, (C major) and shushing me,
I'm wearing a backpack I decide to take (C minor) it off and (C major) open it up,
It's filled with col (G major) ouring books and I (C major) keep thinking
(B major) "I have to be done (G major) in time to pick (B major) Saturn up from school,
I have to be done (C major) in time to pick Saturn (B major) up from school, (G major) (C major) I have to be done in time
To pick Saturn up from
Interlude 1
school"

(B major)
Verse 4
My darling Saturn (C minor) I seem to break your heart daily,
how could I ever neglect to hug you
You are a planet hugged by a rainbow,
forgive me
I sometime become so consumed in the travails
of (B major) my own heart that I neglect yours
And there is no greater crime I will never commit it again,
for there is no other adultery
You are my child,
God's gift to the world God's will be done, I love you.
