I[D] skimmed across black water,[G]without once sub-merging,
[D]Onto the banks of an urban[A] morning,
That[D] hungers the first light[G] much,much more than the[D] mountains[A] ever[D] do,
And [D]she like the ghost beside me,[G]goes down with the ease of a dolphin,
[D]And emerges un[A]learned un shamed un[D]harmed,
For[D] she is the perfect creature,a[G] natural in every feature,
And[D] I am the geek with the[A] alchemist[D] stone.
[Chorus]
For[G] all of[A] you must dis[D]cover,for[G] all who[A] seek to under[D]stand,
For[G] having[A] left the path of[D] others,you'll find a very special[D] hand.
[2]
And it is a holy thing and it is a precious time,
And it is the only way,
Forget-me-nots among the snow,it's always been and so it goes,
To ponder his death and his life eternally.
[3]
One bright blue rose out-lives all thoes,two thousand years and so it goes,
To ponder his death and his life eternally.
