G G7 C
I skimmed across black water without once submerging,
G Em Am D7
onto the banks of an urban morning
G
That hungers the first light,
C G D G
much much more than, the mountains ever do.
G G7
And she like a ghost beside me
C
goes down with the ease of a dolphin,
G Em Am D
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed.
G G7
For she is perfect creature,
C
natural in every feature
G Em D G
And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone.
[Chorus]
Am D G
For all of you who must discover
Am D G
for all who seek to understand
Am D G Em
For having left the path of o o thers
F C D
you'll find a very special hand
[Verse]
G C
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time,
G Am D
and it is the o-o-only way.
G
Forget-me-nots among the snow,
C G Em
it's always been and so it goes, to ponder his death,
D G
and his life eternally.
[Chorus]
Am D G
For all of you who must discover
Am D G
for all who seek to understand
Am D G Em
For having left the path of o o thers
F C D
you'll find a very special hand
G C
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time,
G Am D
and it is the o-o-only way.
G
Forget-me-nots among the snow,
C G Em
it's always been and so it goes, to ponder his death,
D G
and his life eternally.
G C
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time,
G Am D
and it is the o-o-only way.
G
Forget-me-nots among the snow,
C G Em
it's always been and so it goes, to ponder his death,
D G
and his life eternally.

[Outro]
G C
One bright blue rose outlives all those, two thousand years and still it goes,
G Em D G
To ponder his death and his life eternally.
