Am F Am F
C F C F
[Verse]
C G C F
Caught between the air and the windless deep
C F G C
You float like a lily flower
G C F
And you look just like you fell to earth to sleep
C F G C
And you're waiting for your waking hour
[Chorus]
F G C F
And I swear to god I saw an angel hand attend you
C F G
But that was just the dancing of the light
C G Am F
No mortal or immortal did deliver or defend you
Dm7 G C
All hands have forsaken you tonight
[Verse]
G C F
Are you dreaming of a lover who will carry you away?
C F G C
And keep you from the crying of the crowd?
G C F
No cradle in the rushes, you are broken like the day
C F G C
And darkness all around you like a shroud
[Chorus]
F G C F
And I swear to god I saw an angel hand attend you
C F G
But that was just the dancing of the light
C G Am F
No mortal or immortal did deliver or defend you
Dm7 G C
All hands have forsaken you tonight
[Verse]
G C F
When they finally surrounded you, did any of them face you?
C F G C
And did you curse the moon and stars above?
G C F
Those cruel arms abandoned you for water to embrace you
C F G C
Won't you lay your head, my waterlily love?
[Chorus]
F G C F
And I swear to god I saw an angel hand attend you
C F G
But that was just the dancing of the light
C G Am F
No mortal or immortal did deliver or defend you
Dm7 G C
All hands have forsaken you tonight
