he lost her in the endless crowd ,
Bm E A D
in the shadow of st . stephen’s cross .
A D A
he sent cries aloft for his fellow man ,
A F#m D
his fingers slipping from her hand ,
Bm E A D
the rain clouds prowling overhead .

she was there the night the wall came down .
A F#m D
she faded into that newborn crowd
Bm E A D

A D A

A F#m D
her fingers slipping from his hand
Bm E
and she breathed in freedom
A D

A F#m D
in the surging of that tidal crowd
Bm E
an old world made new
A D
on the same holy ground .
A D A
she found him standing , looking lost
A F#m D
in the shadow of st . stephen’s cross ,
Bm E A D
and he closed his eyes and heard no sound
Bm E A D
but her breathing warm against his mouth .
