C F C
He dreams of lying in a bed
Am F
He dreams of dying in her arms
C F C
In cities where the weary tread
Am F
'Cross distant fields and farms
C F C
He forages for human pain
Am F
In the marrow of despair
C
He is a single drop of rain
G C
The fragrant evening air
[Chorus]
F C
And he keeps to the mountains and the valleys
F G
He sleeps by the rivers and the streams
F Am
Comes to the edges of the shadows
C G
To water your life and deepest dreams
F C
And he moves through ancient contradictions
F Am
With the grace of a sacred machine
F C
This beautiful lonesome animal
G C
That no-one's ever seen
[Verse]
C F C
You may catch him in the garden
Am F
If the evening light is good
C F C
Is that him moving 'cross the hillside
Am F
With soldiers, nails and wood?
C F C
You may feel him in your body
Am F
Weighing heavy as a thought
F C
And every notion of his mind
G C
Is everything he's not
[Chorus]
F C
And he keeps to the mountains and the valleys
F G
Sleeps by the rivers and the streams
F Am
Comes to the edges of the shadows

This beautiful lonesome animal
G C
That no-one's ever seen
[Bridge]

Out of a dreamless night

We strut and rage our fated hour

He holds one tear up to the light
F
A single tear
G
To break these chains of lust and power
[Chorus]
F C
And he moves through ancient contradictions
F Am
With the grace of a sacred machine

This beautiful lonesome animal
