Witness Blues

G C Come out to the edge where it is quiet D G Where the ink will drain right out of you G C Far below, the sea and its convictions D G Get broken by the beach out of your view C G And once there was a time to join the army C G And once there was a time to hear the news C G And once there was a time for easy silence D G But now the jury waits for you G C You're caught between the mirror and the country D G And caught up in a prayer of liars' words G C The hounds are on your scent, you must move swiftly D G Their spies just tellin' lies of what they heard C G And once there was a time to join the army C G And once there was a time to hear the news C G And once there was a time for easy silence D G But now the jury waits for you G C So make yourself a mask of chrome and heartaches D G And give yourself a hand to turn away G C Once you heard a choir when you were dreamin' D G And you wish you could remember it today C G And once there was a time to join the army C G And once there was a time to hear the news C G And once there was a time for easy silence D G But now the jury waits for you
