E A C#m B
i loved a triple spiral , my maiden – mother – crone
E G#m C#m B
i folded my devotion into an origami rose
C#m B E A
stood at her tiffany window , she said to look below
E A
could i see the town was burning?
E A
could i see the broken prison?
F#m B E
could i see that it was time for me to go?

E A C#m B
they looted the museum and took all that they could hold
E G#m C#m B
a motorcade of flatbed trucks made off with quite a haul
C#m B
thats when i heard someone shout ,
E A
in with the new! out with the old!
E A
a dusty box of letters
E A
a rusting suit of armor
F#m B E
a casket made of fourteen karat gold

C#m G#m
thats the problem
C#m B
no sense of time
E Emaj7 G#m C#m A B E
she is shaped just like an hourglass there laying on her side

E A C#m B
i loved you triple spiralfather , son and ghost
E G#m C#m
but you left me in my darkest hour when i needed you ,
B
when i needed you
C#m B E A
now that the dream is over i want it to be known
E A
that i never saw it coming
E A
through my little human prism
F#m B E
how sad it is to know im in control

C#m G#m
thats the problem
C#m B
an empty sky
E Emaj7 G#m C#m A B E
i fill it up with everything that is missing from my life
C#m G#m
where did you come from?
C#m B
you fated sign
E Emaj7 G#m C#m A B E
spinning through the centuries expanding all the time

A E
three worlds at once that blend together
A B
three times i cried for us but i felt better then

E A C#m B
i loved you triple spiral , my maiden – mother – crone
E G#m C#m B
you found me in this fallow state , my mind was off and stowed
C#m B E A
i heard your strange commotion and wished i could go home
E A
to live a little longer

E A
a full indian summer
F#m B E
long enough to carve you into stone
