1st Verse:
Dm F C7 Dm
Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk

in tongues from the time before man
F C7 F
listen to a daffodil tell her tale
Gm
Let the guest in walk out
Bb C Dm
be the first to greet the morn

The meadows of heaven await harvest

the cliffs un-jumped cold waters untouched

The elsewhere creatures yet unseen

Finally your number came up
Bb C Dm
Free fall awaits the brave
Chorus:
Dm F C
Come taste the wine race the blind
Gm Dm
we will guide you from the light
Bb C
writing naughts till the end of time

Come surf the clouds race the dark

it feeds from the runs undone
Bb C
meet me where the cliff greets the sea
2nd Verse:
Dm F C7 Dm
The answer to the riddle before your eyes
F C Dm
is in dead leaves and fleeting skies
F C7 F
returning swans and sedulous mice
Gm
writings on the garden's book
Bb C Dm
in the minute of a lover's look

Building a sandcastle close to the shore

A house of cards from a worn out deck
F C F
A home from the fellowship poise and calm
Gm Bb C Dm
writing lyrics for the song only you can understand
Chorus:
Dm F C
Come taste the wine race the blind
Gm Dm
we will guide you from the light

it feeds from the runs undone
Bb C
meet me where the cliff greets the sea

Dance a jig at the funeral
