Into the Shining Day Am/C/F/E :// Into the shining day, hand in hand we make a way. Under the loving sea I am for you. You are for me. Beneath the heavens above, life is life only after love. Over the great abyss, we can remember this like a kiss C/C/G7/G7:// Relax. We will do what you want to do. I just want to be with you & pass the days together. Beyond the instrument the music ascends, to the deepest mystery where you are the door & I am the key. Besides your gentle touch I don't want very much Over the great abyss we can hold onto this Like a kiss Relax. We will do what you want to do. I just want to be with you & pass the days together.

Hooked Upon The Fall F Dm/F Dm/F Dm/Am C F Dm/F Dm/F Dm/Dm C This life is a carnival; it's a ball. Telling fortunes, reading palms, writing poems in the stalls, laughing loud, playing clown, spinning 'round in a waltz. Since the day that I first fell in love I've been hooked upon the fall Dm Am/C Dm/Dm Am/ 1stC F :// 2ndB E Fell through the floor, fell & fell through the core of the earth & the fires of hell looking up at the darkness & silence above I keep falling & falling & falling in love You poke my prophet out You show the devil how death is all sweetness & light In my dreams we are acting out scenes from The Garden of Delights Your love is blanket to an Eskimo Your love is a hat to the bald Your love lets the caller & the called disappear & be lost inside The Call Right through the floor I fell & fell through the core of the earth & the fires of hell I look up at the darkness & silence above & keep falling & falling & falling in love

A/C#m/Bm/Dm A/C#m/Bm/E Deep down in your love I have put my love, because Deep down in your sea my love is meant to be. F/F/G/G Down where the sun don't shine I put this love of mine Deep down in your sea Let it be where it wants to be Deep down in your dark My love has shined a light Deep down in your darkest night Deep down in your sea my love Down where the sun don't shine I shine this light of mine Deep down in your dark showing me who you are deep down. In your sea

Lit at Noon 02:37
Chords: C/E/F/GF I am yours. I am lost in you. I am lost is where I long to be lost as a candle lit at noon lost as a snowflake in the sea Lost I love you. I am lost inside your spirit beautiful and bright I love to be so lost in you, lost as a light is lost in a light.

A/C#m/D/E The more I reach out for control, the more you slip away. The more I try to let you go, the more you want to stay D/D/E/E A/C#m/D/E I just want to get along. The more you try & hide away, the more I want to know. The more you want to see in me, the less there is to show. I just want to get along. Me & you have got to learn to get along cause we belong to the same brain baby. You're mine & you're not mine. You're here & you're not here. Me & you have got to learn to get along cause we belong to the same brain baby I'm yours & I'm not yours. I'm here & I'm not here.
