verse 1 
Dm                  F       C7/E       Dm 
Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk 
   Bb               F      C    Dm 
in tongues from the time before man 
            F        C7/E     F 
listen to a daffodil tell her tale 
              Gm                   Bb       C         Dm 
Let the guest in, walk out, be the first to greet the morn 
               F       C7/E    Dm 
The meadows of heaven await harvest 
    Bb        F           C        Dm 
the cliffs un-jumped cold waters untouched 
              F         C7/E  F 
The elsewhere creatures yet unseen 
             Gm 
Finally your number came up 
     Bb    C         Dm 
Free fall awaits the brave.

Chorus 
Dm              F              C 
Come, taste the wine, race the blind 
        Gm                 Dm 
we will guide you from the light, 
        Bbsus2                  C     C Bb C 
writing naughts till the end of time.. 
Dm             F                C 
Come, surf the clouds, race the dark, 
         Gm              Dm 
it feeds from the runs undone, 
        Bbsus2    F                C                          
meet me where the cliff greets the sea...

verse 2 
Dm                  F        C7/E      Dm 
  The answer to the riddle before your eyes 
  Bb         F          C        Dm 
  is in dead leaves and fleeting skies 
            F         C7/E     F 
  returning swans and sedulous mice 
                  Gm 
  writings on the garden's book 
         Bb        C         Dm 
  in the minute of a lover's look. 
             F          C/E   Gm     Dm 
  Building a sandcastle close to the shore 
    Bb       F            C        Dm 
  A house of cards from a worn out deck. 
                  F           C/E   Bb  F 
  A home from the fellowship, poise and calm, 
                 Gm                Bb      C    Dm 
  writing lyrics for the song only you can understand..

BRIDGE 
Bm  
Riding hard every shooting star 
        A/C# 
come to life open mind 
                    Em 
have a laugh at the orthodox, 
Bm                        D 
Come, drink deep, let the dam of mind seep, 
       A 
Travel with great Ã?lan

Dance a jig at the funeral...
