intro : Em D C Em D C

Em D C
look at the names carved into rocks
Em D C
look at the days when they were lit up
Em D C G
brushing my head and i feel their rage
Em D C
years of radiance , years of rain

G D C
and the world stops spinning when you stop spinning
G D C
sighs when you sigh when you sigh
Em D C G
i’m coming home so leave the light on for me
Em D C G
i’m drawing over the luminous veil
Em D C G
when i get in i will see you all there
Em D C G
i’m drawing on the great exhale

Em D C Em D C

Em D C
uncertain ground so i walk lightly
Em D C
translating names of lost families
Em D C G
somebodys’ sleeping and you should not wake
Em D C
drifting whispers over their grave

G D C
and the world stops spinning when you stop spinning
G D C
sighs when you sigh when you sigh
Em D C G
i’m coming home so leave the light on for me
Em D C G
i’m drawing over the luminous veil
Em D C G
when i get in i will see you all there
Em D C G
i’m drawing on the great exhale
Em D C G
wide open spaces
Em D C G
in a sleep a long time
Em D C G
come to waiting places
Em D C G
come tonight like all dreams

Em D C G
i’m coming home so leave the light on for me
Em D C G
i’m drawing over the luminous veil
Em D C G
when i get in i will see you all there
Em D C G
i’m drawing on the great exhale

Em D C G
i’m soaring in on the great exhale
