Lampost
Intro: D   /   Am7   repeat

              D

Does the lamppost slowly turning

         Am7

In the window that's concerning

      D                                 Am7

Re-evaluation for the sake of man,

         D

Carry news of broken weather

             Am7

Which reveals the shallow gesture

      D                                                         Am7    D   Am7

Of ovations carved from mountains made of sand?

G

Low line falling, the distance calling,

    D                                                      Am7

Connections from the past don't seem to come.

G

Tragic dancer tries to answer

      D                                       A

But cannot for he plays a broken drum.

BREAK:    D   /   Am7   /   D   /   Am7

Fm Em Ebm Dm   D       Am7

Flying, flying with time.

Fm Em Ebm Dm   D       Am7

Flying, flying with time.

C                  G          C          G

Distance and space, reacting in kind.

C             G               C               G

Oh for the price of the wisdom sublime.

            G              G/Cbass      A

And the strength to shoulder the burden.

         D

Is the tale too early spoken

          Am7

To the heads that nod a token

          D                                 Am7

Of appreciation based upon the sound?

     D

Or do the words mean something

          Am7

To the bold ones who are jousting

       D                                 Am7

In determination to unseat the crown?

BREAK:   D   /   Am7   /   D   /   Am7   repeat

Rose thorn, forlorn.

Guard the Beauty's treat.

Carry your message sweet!

          D    D/Db    D/C

And deliver as complete

      Bm                   D      Am7

The play's unspoken line,
Unspoken line,
Unspoken line.

Outro: repeat   D   /   Am7   for a while then D to end
