In The Wake Of Your Leave

D D G D/F# Em G D/F# A G D/F# Em G D/F# A G D/F# Em So as you canyon-eered from our world upwards And the angels took their place G D/F# A I was the loser at your funeral And no emotion conveyed G D/F# Em It was drawn out in vain And the idiot I am G D/F# A Just figured in the wake of your leave That I'd never hear from you again Bm A And then I'd sing G With all this feeling Em That your spirit would afford me D My hand A/C# On heart Bm A G It's not a thing that I've been dreaming of D/F# Em And it goes without my blessing And leaves me in a rut G D/F# Em But it comes and goes And shows me all I'm missing G D/F# A And it comes and goes D G D/F# Em I was there at the backstage trying But the words, they never came G D/F# A And I was available for a statement but I just Hung my head in shame G D/F# Em It felt nothing to me All the ceremony I'd wasted G D/F# A And then I'd thank them and leave And say, "God bless you all, goodnight" Bm A And then I'd think G Em The grave was turning And that nothing would absolve me D My hand A/C# On heart Bm A It's not a thing that I've been dreaming of G D/F# Em And it throws me without warning And leaves me in the dust G D/F# Em But it comes and goes And fills me when I'm empty G D/F# A Then it comes and goes And I will need it when it's gone G D/F# Em G D/F# Em Bm It quakes A And moves G Then breaks Em Then shatters over me F#m In shapes of all these A Quiet sacred things I need Em F#m A D My hand A/C# On heart Bm A G If there's a line or something in these songs D/F# Em That are worthy of some mention You're free to let me know G D/F# Em But it comes and grows And leaves me in my weakness G D/F# A And it comes and goes D My hand A/C# On heart Bm A G It's not a thing that I've been dreaming of D/F# Em And it goes without my blessing And leaves me in a rut G D/F# Em But it comes and goes And holds me when I'm sleepless G D/F# A Then it comes and shows How I need you when you're gone D G D/F# Em D
