Well I guess that I'd die with my friends at my side
C5 G5 /F#5 /E5 D5
Puzzled young faces just slipped a -way slowly

So around I did wander for to find my way home
C5 G5 /F#5 /E5 D5
On feet made of nothing it's har-der to roam

I trooped up the coastline

A walk on the moor

Saw no big wide river

No glorious faraway shore

G5 /F#5 G5 /A5 /B5
And every now and a-gain
C5 G5 /F#5 /E5 D5
I go into town just to see my old friends
C5 G5
It's such an odd feeling

Their eyes burn like embers
C5 G5
Their minds are these forests
C5 G5
Where thoughts fall as timber

Be-fore I'm dragged a-way

Every now and a-gain

Now I have no form I could climb in her spine

I know she's thinking of me

For all my good deeds these eighteen De-cembers

Out-side of the book there is no resurrection
A5 D5 G5
The valley be-low threatens me with a home

Heaven a-bove has no map or direction

Be-fore you?re dragged a-way
C5 D5
Every now
C5 D5
Every now
C5 D5 G5
Every now and a-gain
