Intro

  

Verse 1

Blue light rain, well
Unbroken chain
Am Eb **
Looking for familiar faces
in an empty window pane.  
Listening for the secret,
searching for the sound
But I could only hear the preacher
and the baying of his hounds. 
   

Verse 2

Willow sky, woah,
I walk and wonder why,
F G **
They say love your brother,
But you will catch it when you try.  
Roll you down the line poor boy,
Drop you for a loss,
Ride you out on the cold railroad
And nail you to a cross. 

Instrumental

G C Fsus4 F x4
   

Verse 3

November and more
As I wait for the score,
Dm7 Cmaj7 **
They're telling me forgiveness
Is the key to every door.  
A slow winter day
A night like forever
Sink like a stone,
Float like a feather.

Verse 4

Lilac rain, unbroken chain
Dm7 Em* G Gm
Song of the Saw-Whet owl.
Out on a mountain, it'll drive you insane
Dm7 Em* G Gm
Listening to the winds howl.
Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls,
Dm7 Em* G Gm
Unbroken chain of sky and sea.
Unbroken chain of the western wind,
Dm7 Em* G
Unbroken chain of you and me.

Outro

Ah, Ah, 
Laa dada, Laa dada,
Laa dada da da
   
Oooh,   
Oooh
