C
In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
Am
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
F
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
C
We dare to breathe
Majestic, Imperial,
Am
Solitude sails
In a wave of forgiveness
C
On angels' wings
Reach out your hands
Am
Don't walk away
F
How in the world
Fm
Can I wish for this?
C
C7
Never to be torn apart
F
Close to you
Fm
C
'Til the last beat
Of my heart
C
At the close of day
The sunset cloaks
Am
These words in shadowplay
F
Here and now, long and loud
C
My heart cries out
Am
And the naked bone of an echo says
C
Don't walk away
F
Fm
Reach out your hands
C

I'm just a step away
F
How in the world
Fm
Can I wish for this?
C
C7
Never to be torn apart
F
Close to you

C
'Til the last beat
C7
Of my heart
F
How in the world
Fm
Can I wish for this?
C
C7
Never to be torn apart
F
'Til the last beat
Fm

'Til the last fleeting beat
C7
Of my heart
