'peace which passeth all understanding'

FLOWER FOR SHINE        

(Key of G, verse: D/A/G, chorus: F #/Bm/G/G, fade out: G/E)

D-A-G repeat

Carry my arms

Away up to you

Break open the sky

Into something new

Drink from my cup

Of gold and mud

Cover the land

With something other than blood

Bland coffee hours

Between sand and the towers

& everything falls into the human heart

While the wheel runs around & you play your part

So burn the sky

And drown the word

That mountain won’t cry

For your bluebird

I’m gonna write you down

Into a beautiful pearl

And send your voice & crown

Out over the world

And the moon tide will stand still

And no one will shout or call

And like grist for the endless mill

The sunlight will turn to nightfall

F#-Bm-G-G

And I am fast

Approaching the paradoxical abyss

Of the luminescent paradisaical kiss

& while your soul is caressed by mine

I still find myself a broken battle line

G-E   (Fade out)

But I got the flower

Flower of life

And it’s still spinning

Spinning in my mind

But I got the flower

Flower of life

And it’s still spinning

Spinning in my mind

But I got the flower

Flower of life

And it’s still spinning

Spinning in my mind
