Tom: Am
Am
In a jar of alchemy
G E
The sands of mind washed in from the sea on a sinking boat
Am
Navigating the tangled thread
G E
In a snag at the edge of the bed a well-worn plot
F E
Written in an aching need
G F Am
The book with the shining seed could not float
[Chorus]
C G Am
I awoke in the early morning
C G Am
I thought to tell you something
F
But I forget what it was now anyway
Am
It’s good of you to stay
[Verse 2]
Am
I saw myself in shattered mirrors
G E
Each an echo of the other’s features but never the same
Am
The pieces hung on to the wall
G E
Held a while before they fall from the game
F E
But if they could resolve
G F Am
To flow as they dissolve my name
[Chorus]
C G Am
I awoke in the early morning
C G Am
I thought to tell you something
F
But I forget what it was now anyway
Am
It’s good of you to stay
[Verse 3]
Am
I had a dream, beautiful
G E
In a garden there grew shining trees
Am
Fruit and vines in the night
G E
The plants shone a strange light from their leaves
F E
I drew closer to the colored shapes
G F Am
Illuminating the folds of my cape and my sleeves
F E
And of a sudden heard a sound
G F Am
Buzzing soft all around without a breeze
F E
Flying in the garden where
G F Am
Flowers touched my hands and hair thousands of bees
[Chorus]
C G Am
I awoke in the early morning
C G Am
I thought to tell you something
F
But I forget what it was now anyway
Am
It’s good of you to stay
