G C G G

Verse 1

Gsame old Cstory came and Gwent G

Ggone like the words it Cwasted, and told as theG time it spentG

 like the Cones passing by all Cforgotten for why or Emwhat they meantEm

 just a Dblank page that still Cremains, and a lastinGg hymn

C G G

Verse 2

Ggone, she's Cgone, her wind has Gblown G

Gfurther away from the Cwinters that made her feel Gso aloneG

 and aCll she remembers of Cdistant Decembers chiEmlled to the boneEm

 can just Dfade like the old false Cloves

 for she hears a Ctune calling like a Choly Emmorning Amsong

Chorus

 say my GpeaCce, say my GgloCry, say my GlovCe say my DsonCg

 say my GpeaCce, say my GgloCry, say my GlovCe said my Dso o Cnnng

G C G G

Verse 3

Gwhere oh Cwhere did your songbird Gfly

Geffortlessly on the Cseven great seas and the Gwailing sky

 is she Csleeping or alone and weeping and wEmondering why

 through the Dsilence a song can be Cborn Cand EmsurvAmive D

Verse 4

but somehwere she hears that sweet reprise

calling like a long lost love with sleep upon his weary eyes

and complete disregard for the longwinded hardships and gone goodbyes

for the love that remains is clear as that lasting hymn

singin like a holy morning song

Chorus

Bridge

Em Djust like the morning Gbells tolling

 and the EmdreamDs that were restlessslyEm stolen

 and the Bmlight still Cshining

 on the Emsouls that were broken Dbefore

 and a voice is Ccalling

Dcalling theGm home,C calling them Ghome

Verse 5

after all the tides have tamed

silences broken and the stories half spoken but yet unnamed

i'll be painfully sure of the ones that endure and are unashamed

as the breath of a lasting hymn so soft and true and mercifully

calling back again
