verse 1 :
Cm D#
strange things happen in the nighttime hours
G# A#
yesterday’s buds are tomorrows flowers
Cm D#
those who speak numbers refuse the great forgiver
G# A#
and powerful men raise their hands and deliver
Cm D#
all the superstitions to which we all cling
G# A#
while high minds in geneva ponder E8 vs string
Cm D#
the sun hides itself , concealing its grin
G# A#
and waits for the dawn to reveal itself again

chorus :
Cm
oh , young cardinals
G# Fm
nesting in the trees
Cm
oh , hear our songs
G#
and reign your
Fm
innocence on me

verse 2 :
Cm D#
strange things happen in the nighttime hours
G# A#
white tails graze and wolves devour
Cm D#
ghosts of old loves are blowing through the pines
G# A#
nicotine babies being born with no spines
Cm D#
the god of the sea is swinging his trident
G# A#
we stoke our fires with the bones of tryants
Cm D#
the sun , it retreats through the dust and the din
G# A# Cm – –
and waits for the dawn to reveal itself again
