Gb
I, I gazed
G#
Upon the Earth
Gb
Observed
D#
Every faulted line
Gb
And time
G#
She moved so slow it taxed my feeble mind
Gb G# N.C.
And I waited impatient for something to come around
Gb G#
Did you know I was there?
Gb
Did you know what I needed?
D#
How, how long
Gb
How, how long
G# D#m
Did I stand in the garden with my breath against the leaves
D# Gb
As the trees bowed down and weeds would gather, around my legs up to my knees
Gb D#
How, how long?
D# Gb
How, how long?
Gb
I, I gazed
G#
Into your eyes
Gb
The day
D#
You promised you could lie forever
Gb
This way
G#
Your hand in mine and the stars singing our
Gb
Names
D# N.C.
And I waited impatient for something to come around
Gb G#
Did you know what it meant?
Gb
Did you know we were fading?
D#
How, how long
Gb
How, how long
G# D#m
Did we lie in the soil with our arms and legs tangled up
D# Gb
Like the weeds and the branches of the trees that bound our souls and necks to the ground below
D#
How, how long
Gb
How long
D#
How long
Gb
Didn't mean to take you down
G#
Didn’t mean to take you down
Gb
I thought you'd wanna stay
D#
I thought we would be fine whatever came our way
Gb
Didn't know my world was dark
G#
Didn’t know my world was dark
D#m
Until you came
D#
And you wilted with the lack of sun
D#m
Falling prey
G#
To the weight
D#
And disarray
[pause]
Gb G#
Now you know how it felt
Gb
Now you know why I needed it
D#
How, how wrong
Gb
How, how wrong
G#
You assumed that I could make you feel it was worth it
Gb D# Gb
But all I ever did was drag you down and bring you in and out through hell again
G#
My goddess of light
D# Gb
And spring and all things good
D#
How, how wrong
Gb
How, how long
G#
Before you break down and fly away with your spirit
Gb D# Gb
And mine in tow and leave me below with all the fates and shades and the river passing through
D#
But I could never blame you
