G       D        F                G
Here today the red sky tells his tale,
Em            Am                 A#
But the only listening eyes are mine
          A
There is peace amongst the hills,
Cm                                G  C D C
And the night will cover all my pride.
  G         D         F                G
Blest are they who smile from bodies free,
Em               Am          A#
Seems to me like any other crowd
         Am            D
Who are waiting to be saved.

 A            D      Amaj7     D              A    D
Wait, there still is time for washing in the pool,
G              E
Wash away the past
 A        D          Amaj9     D            A   D
Moon, my long-lost friend is smiling from above,
G              E
Smiling at my tears.
 A          D        A       D             A  D
Come we'll walk the path to take us to my home,
 G                E
Keep outside the night.
A   D        Dmaj7      A        D           A  D
The ice-cold knife has come to decorate the dead,
     G  E
Somehow
D                     A
And each will find a home,
D                       Amaj7
And there will still be time,
    F#m7      Gmaj7
For loving my friend

          A
You are there
 G                       D 
And will I wait for ever, beside the silent mirror
A
And fish for bitter minnows amongst the weeds
             G   D  A
And slimy water.

A
I-I-I-I-I I-I-I-I-I
        G               D 
I said want to sit down
A
I-I-I-I-I I-I-I-I-I
        G               D 
I said want to sit down
   A
I want a drink, I want a drink
    G                                        D 
To take all the dust and the dirt from my throat
   A
I want a drink, I want a drink
    G                                      D 
To wash out the filth that is deep in my guts.
   A          A7 A6
I want a drink.
