[Verse 1]

I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs

No poet has ever painted

Where beauty meets the darkness of the day

Where my mind is like an open window

Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

[Verse 2]
D2 D2/C F#dim A
Some streets are emptiness, dry leaves of autumn

Rustling down an old alley

And in the dead of night, I find myself

D blind man in some ancient valley

I let the music speak, leading me gently

Urging me like a lover

Leading me all the way into a place

Where beauty will defeat the darkest day

I let them use me

(All illusion, no disturbance, no intrusion)

Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while

Let it be the joy of each new sunrise

Or the moment when the day dies

I surrender without reservation

No explanations

No questions why

I take it to me and let it flow through me

Yes, I let the music speak
A# C C4 F
I let the music speak
