Intro 
E7   A7 D7 G7 


 
G7                                  C7                        G7 
I hold in my hand, an echo of voice brought on the wings of a bird 
G7 
Like a ruby filled vase, and a basket with lace 
         A7                       D7 
The most beautiful sound you have heard 
   G7                                C7                   G7 
My body, it aches of a far memory of someone I might have known 
              C7                   G7           E7 
And theres a hole in the wall too small to see through 
        A7          D7         G7  E7 A7 D7 G7 E7 A7 D7 G7 
But Im sure its a picture of home 
 

 
G7                                           C7                  G7 
Sometimes Im standing on a mountaintop. Im nowhere but Im not lost 
G7 
But sometimes Im just hanging with a heart thats just breaking 
A7                        D7 
My arms outstretched on a cross 
    G7 
But something keeps pulling, a lost letter of love 
     C7                         G7 
In a cabin where a fire used to be 
          C7                          G7            E7 
Theres a woman whos calling, with a voice of fair warning 
    A7                  D7      G7 E7 A7 D7 G7 E7 A7 D7 G7 
Her crooked hand points only at me 
 

 
G7 
Ashes to Ashes, mothers turn to ashes 
C7                       G7 
Daughter soon follows in death 
                                                  A7                   D7 
But before leaving earth, a daughter gives birth; a gift to me and she says 
     G7                                 C7                         G7 
You hold in your hand an echo of voice, brought on the wings of a bird 
           C7                           G7            E7               A7        D7 
And like a bird who only sings for what every morning brings, the most beautiful sound I have heard
