Standing firm on this...stony ground, the wind blows hard,
Pulls these clothes around, I... harbour all the same worries as most,
The temp - tations to leave, or to give up the ghost,
I wrestle with an outlook on life that shifts between darkness,
G6(type2) Fmaj7
And shadowy light, I struggle with words, for fear that they'll hear,
But Orpheus sleeps on his back, still dead to the world!
Sunlight falls, my wings open wide, there's a beauty here, I cannot deny,
And bottles that tumble, and crash on the stairs,
Are just so many people I knew never cared, down below, on the wreck of the ship,
Bm/A G G6(type2)
Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret,
But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide
As Orpheus keeps to his promise, and stays by my side!
Tell me, I've still a lot to learn,
I understand, these fires never stop,
Be - lieve-- me, when this joke is tired of laughing,
I will----- hear.... the promise of my Orpheus sing!

Sleepers sleep, while we... row the boat,
Just you, the weather, and I gave up hope,
But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps...
...was fuel for the fire, and straw for our backs,
Still the voices have stories to tell...
Bm/A G G6(type2)
Of the power struggles in heaven & hell,
But we feel secure against such might dreams,
As Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may... bring!

Tell me, I've still a lot to learn,
I understand, these fires never stop,
Be - lieve-- me, when this joke is tired of laughing,
I will----- hear.... the promise of my Orpheus sing!
