Were All Leaving

C Am7 F C There is thunder on the skyline Am And it tears her breath away C In the twilight iron-grey Am7 F C A father's human hand could not command her F To return to them once more C Like a soldier from the war F C We're all leaving F C Am7 Even the ones who stay behind F G C We're all leaving in our own time Am7 F C Each night surrenders to another morning Am Still beneath the April skies C He can hear a quiet cry Am7 F C On smiling fields there's a battle raging F And for every bloom he knows C Another flower never grows F C We're all leaving F C Am7 Even the ones who stay behind F G Am7 We're all leaving in our own time F G C We're all leaving in our own time Dm7 F And he has no Ark to bear him from this flood C G Just a broken vessel wrought in flesh and blood Am7 Though the riptides pull him under D He cannot cease to wonder F At the beauty of it all Dm7 C At the beauty of it all Am7 F C He brings her mother to the church doors Am And while she prays for what must come C He walks the woods alone Am7 F C And there he builds his own cathedrals F And on every whirring wing C He can hear the forest sing F C We're all leaving F C Am7 Even the ones who stay behind F G Am7 We're all leaving in our own time F G Am7 We're all leaving in our own time F G C We're all leaving in our own time
