[C] _ Last comes upon you [G] like smoke on [C] cake You [F] can smell it and find [G] yourself gone
[C] _
In [F] a place that you [G] live without knowing you're [Am] _ fake
[C] Isn't that where we all want to [F] be?
_ _ _ [C]
I mean the ancient tall trees [G] with stars [C] overhead, and [F] the sound of the _
[C] [G] whirlpools _ _ [Am] asleep.
[G] I [F] used to meet with the [G] flowers, the lonely [Am] and pale, [C] and who ever [G] can you _
[C] think _ _ of _ standing _ still?
[G] _ _ [C] One day you can get a [G] _ cattle [Am] _ in the [C] _
age of _ miracle, [G] _
_ _ [C] he's gone home and _ away.

_ _ _ _ [C] _
The new land is melting, [G] the west is [C] on fire, [F] but don't ever stop [G] praying for rain.
[C] _ _ [F] It's a curious place [G] between hope and [Am] desire, _ [C] different thoughts but the prayer [F] is the same.
_ [C] _
A thousand years gone you [G] see the form on [C] the leaves, [F] drowning all the vain things in [G] their _ [Am] paths.
_ [C] On a small southerly town [G] by a golden [Am] tree, _ [C] we're all [G] once again trapped in the [C] past.
It seems we're [F] just [C] standing _ [G] still.
_ [Am] One day [C] we can get a [G] _ _ [Am] cattle _ in [C] the _ age _ _ _ [G] of miracles, _ _ [C] he's gone home and [F] away.

_ _ [C] We'll fly through space, [G] we'll create a sun, [C] _ we [F] can land in the dust [G] all _ alone.
[Am] _ [C] We can transform [F] our lives, [G] we can talk to the [Am] kings, [C] still we can't shake this feeling [F] of doom.
_ _ _ [C] I walk the sign, long [G] supporting intimacy, [C] _ _ marching [F] _ thousands strong [G] into the rain.
[Am] _ [C] And now the courage comes dressed [G] in a rosewood [Am] dress.
[C]
I will [G] never be _ fearful [C] _ if _ [F] I'm just [C] standing _ [G] still.
_ _ [Am] One day [C] I'll get a _ [G] cattle _ [Am] _ in [C] the _ age of _ miracles, [G] _ _ [C] he's gone home and away. _ _
