(A minor) Spring it came upon us,
Every (E minor) insect filled the air
Dropped their (D major) wings upon my brother,
Cast their shad (A minor) ows on his hair
Verse 2
If we follow (A minor) where they're leading,
We will surely (E minor) come before
Some un (D major) seen and wondrous magic

Verse 3
where we were living
Was an old (A minor) abandoned farm
Every (D major) year we'd plant an orchid
In the shel (A minor) ter of it's arm
To pro (D major) tect us from the madness
Of the fu (A minor) ture still to come
It will (E minor) be like this forever
I will (C major) keep you safe from harm (D major)
(A minor)
Interlude 1
(E minor) (C major) (D major) (A minor)
Verse 4
Then they caught (A minor) us in the summer
Dressed in fathers (E minor) finest clothes
You the hat (D major) he wore to market
I the (A minor) jacket filled with holes
Verse 5
I've been (A minor) searchins all these hours
For a hand (E minor) as pale as bone
That would (D major) keep the strongest sunlight
And reflect (A minor) the brightest stone
Verse 6
Near the town (D major) where we were living
Was a warm (A minor) and fragrant smell
Of the (D major) orchid we had planted
Now a forest (A minor) tall and well
What a (D major) statue to our greatness
What a story (A minor) all will tell
They'll re (E minor) member us forever
They'll re (C major) member where we fell
(D major)
Interlude 2

Verse 7
This (A minor) old dark machine,
it shakes and it shudders
Pulls (G major) to the left,
then dies near the gutter
But still (D major) in the road,
the traffic is silent
(A minor) The people they stare,
and then they turn violent
(F major) If they should touch,
the hem of your dress
I would (A minor) rise like a lion, strike out again
The (C major) faithful they wait, the faithful they wait
By the (G major) sign
Near (C major) the
Verse 8
(D major) town where we were living
Came a loud (A minor) and joyous sound
As the (D major) earth and all her beauty
Picked us (A minor) up from off the ground
Carried (D major) far across the mountain
To a kingdom (A minor) never bound
We will (F major) live like this forever (C major)
I will love (D major) you
I (C major) will love (A minor) (E minor) (D major) (A minor)
(E minor) (A minor) (D major) (A minor)
you
I (E minor) will love you
