G                  C       G
I see you now and then in dreams 
G                              C     G
Your voice sounds just like it used to
G                         D        Em 
I know you better than I knew you then 
C                  D     G
All I can say is I love you 

G                       C     G
I thought our days were commonplace 
G                            C    G
Thought they would number in millions 
G                    D       Em 
Now there's only the aftertaste 
C                                     D   G
Of circumstance that can't pass this way again 

(Chorus)
G               C       G
Treasure of the broken land
G                             D      G
Parched earth, give up your captive ones 
G               C    G
Waiting wind of Gabriel
G    Em            D      G
Blow soon upon the hollow bones 


G                                     C  G
I saw the city at its tortured worst
G                                     C  G
And you were outside the walls there 
G                       D        Em 
You were relieved of a lifelong thirst 
C                D     G
I was dry at the fountain 

G                                  C  G
I knew that you could see my shame 
G                                  C  G
But you were eyeless and sparing 
G                 D        Em
I awoke when you called my name 
C                  D    G
I felt the curtain tearing 
G                 D        Em
I awoke when you called my name 
C                  D    G
I felt the curtain tearing 

(Chorus)
G               C      G
Treasure of the broken land
G                           D        G
Parched earth, give up your captive ones 
G               C    G
Waiting wind of Gabriel
G    Em            D      G
Blow soon upon the hollow bones 


C       Bm      C        D 
                          All the way to Macon
C       Bm      C        D 
                         All the way to Macon
G     

G                               C  G
I can melt the clock hands down
G                               C  G
But only in my memory
G               D       Em 
Nobody gets the second chance
C                     D        G
To be the friend they meant to be 
G                 C       G
I see you now and then in dreams 
G                               C   G
Your voice sounds just like it used to 
G                 D      Em 
I believe I will hear it again
C         D    G
God how I love you
