E                                            C7M
   Standing firm on this...stony ground, the wind blows hard,
                               A
Pulls these clothes around, I...  harbour all the same worries as most,
            F7M
The temp - tations to leave, or to give up the ghost,
D                     B          Bm/A   G                            
   I wrestle with an outlook on life that shifts between darkness, 
    G6(type2)         F7M
And shadowy light, I struggle with words, for fear that they'll hear,
      Gm7                                         A7M
But Orpheus sleeps on his back, still dead to the world!


E                                                C7M
   Sunlight falls, my wings open wide, there's a beauty here, I cannot deny,
       A
And bottles that tumble, and crash on the stairs, 
        F7M                               D                    B
Are just so many people I knew never cared,   down below, on the wreck of the ship,
   Bm/A   G                       G6(type2)               
Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret, 
         F7M
But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide
     Gm7                                         A7M
As Orpheus keeps to his promise, and stays by my side!


F7M Fmaj9 F7M      G6  G9         G6
             Tell me,       I've still a lot to learn,
F7M    Fmaj9     F7M  G6  G9        G6
      I understand,           these fires never stop,
F7M      Fmaj9 F7M     G6       G9         G6
      Be - lieve--    me,      when this joke is tired of laughing,
F7M    Fmaj9      F7M        G6            Bb    A4
  I will-----  hear....    the promise of my Orpheus sing!

E                                                
   Sleepers sleep, while we... row the boat, 
    C7M
Just you, the weather, and I gave up hope,
     A                   
But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps... 
       F7M
...was fuel for the fire, and straw for our backs,
D                         B           
   Still the voices have stories to tell... 
   Bm/A  G                  G6(type2)
Of the power struggles in heaven & hell,
   F7M
But we feel secure against such might dreams,
    Gm7                                         A7M
As Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may... bring!
