Intro:
F F7 Bb C7

     F               F7       Bb            F
 My world is like a river as dark as it is deep 
C                 C7                C                     F
 Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep 
     F               F7            Bb                F
 My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me 
        Bb            F             C            F
 Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memories 

  C C7      F

       F               F7             Bb         F
 She slipped into the silence of my dreams last night 
C         C7                C                 F
 Wondering from room to room turning on each light 
      F                    F7       Bb                 F
 Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea 
           Bb                F             C          F
 And I'm swept away from sadness clinging to her memories 
 
  C C7      F
