Capo II
(C) (C/b) (Am) (G)
(G) I stood in the (Am) shadow
(C) Between the (C/b) night and (Am) down
(G) And I walked like the (Am) candle
(C) And dreamed (C/b) away the (Am) dawn
(C) Before the final curtain (Bm) fell
(D7/a) Across my weary (Em/b) eyes
(C) I’m sure I saw the (Bm) ghost of truth
(Am7) At least a thousand (D7) times
And all that I defended
Within the prison walls
Was captured or surrendered
I watched the banners fall
And stumbling blindly through the flame
I fell into the sea
And drifted out upon the waves
Into eternity
But somehow I remembered
When all the stars had flown
Hidden pines, the royal sky
The palms came tumbling home
To glorify the prison walls
They tried so hard to climb
Never knowing that for them all
The prison is the mind
And now I know the story
Before I turn the page
The games I played for glory
Have vanished with the age
And I can only love you now
And you can do the same
For I have learned that love somehow
Will brush away the pain
