Am G G Am

G

Where the river runs to black

Am

I take the schoolbooks from your pack

F

Plastics, wire and your kiss

Am

The breath of eternity on your lips

G

In the crowded market place

Am

I drift from face to face

F

I hold my breath and close my eyes

Am

I hold my breath and close my eyes

G

And I wait for paradise

Am G

And I wait for paradise

Am G G Am

G

The Virginia hills have gone to brown

Am

Another day another sun going down

F

I visit you in another dream

Am

I visit you in another dream

G

I reach and feel your hair

Am

Your smell lingers in the air

F

I brush your cheek with my finger tips

Am

I taste the void upon your lips

G

And I wait for paradise

Am

And I wait for paradise

F Am G G Am

G

I search for you on the other side

Am

Where the river runs clean and wide

F

Up to my heart the waters rise

Am

Up to my heart the waters rise

G

I sink beneath the water cool and clear

Am

Drifting down, I disappear

F

I see you on the other side

Am

I search for the peace in your eyes

G

But they're as empty as paradise

Am

They're as empty as paradise

F Am G G Am

G

I break above the waves

Am

I feel the sun upon my face
