  E              A          C#m           B
I loved a Triple Spiral, my maiden-mother-crone
  E          Abm             C#m     B 
I folded my devotion into an origami rose
     C#m             B           E            A
Stood at her Tiffany window, she said to look below
        E                A
Could I see the town was burning?
        E              A
Could I see the broken prison?
       F#m              B              E
Could I see that it was time for me to go?

     E            A            C#m                  B
They looted the museum and took all that they could hold
  E            Abm                 C#m              B
A motorcade of flatbed trucks made off with quite a haul
C#m                 B
That?s when I heard someone shout,
             E                 A
?In with the new! Out with the old!?
  E            A
A dusty box of letters
  E               A
A rusting suit of armor
 F#m             B              E
A casket made of fourteen karat gold

C#m           Abm
    That?s the problem
C#m             B
    No sense of time
       E           Emaj7   Abm C#m         A         B  E   
She is shaped just like an hourglass there laying on her side


   E                A     C#m             B
I loved you Triple Spiral?father, son and ghost
        E             Abm                 C#m
But you left me in my darkest hour when I needed you,
       B
when I needed you
   C#m               B       E             A
Now that the dream is over I want it to be known
       E            A
That I never saw it coming
           E            A
Through my little human prism
    F#m          B              E
How sad it is to know I?m in control

C#m          Abm
   That?s the problem
C#m         B
   An empty sky
  E      Emaj7    Abm  C#m           A       B       E                          
I fill it up with everything that is missing from my life
C#m              Abm
   Where did you come from?
C#m          B
   You fated sign
E        Emaj7       Abm   C#m   A       B       E
Spinning through the centuries expanding all the time

A                                  E
 Three worlds at once that blend together
A                               B
 Three times I cried for us but I felt better then

  E                A         C#m            B
I loved you Triple Spiral, my maiden-mother-crone
    E                Abm              C#m              B
You found me in this fallow state, my mind was off and stowed
  C#m                   B          E                 A
I heard your strange commotion and wished I could go home
   E             A
To live a little longer

  E           A 
A full Indian summer
F#m            B              E
Long enough to carve you into stone
