Em D9/F# G6 C Standing knee deep in cold water Em D9/F# G6 Swiftly moving, somehow C I knew I'd lost something Em D9/F# G6 C Wading waist deep I saw a book there in the river Em D9/F# G6 C Waiting for me to find it there Em D9/F# G6 C I tried to read it, neck deep, treading water Em D9/F# G6 C But the tide, it pulled me out to sea C Then, with water in my eyes Em The words began to rise from their place C They were beautiful and dread Em I reached for them and fed on each phrase Am They were honey on my lips G4/B C But then a bitter twist in my side Am I knew they'd lay me in my grave G4/B C "is there no one who can save me?" I cried Em D9/F# G6 C Sinking, down deep through cold water and heavy silence Em D9/F# G6 C Shadows stirring in the gloom Em D9/F# G6 C What things that lay sleeping down deep in the darkness Em D9/F# G6 Woke then C To find me in that tomb? G And when I lost all hope to look D9/F# Someone took that heavy book - C G From my hands; all its weight they set aside D9/F# C After they had satisfied its demands Am I felt white and black reverse G4/B C And the lifting a curse from my heart Am Then like one receiving sight G4/B C I beheld a brilliant light in the dark
