Am And in darkness we do what we can F G In daylight we're oblivion Am Our hearts so raw and clear F G Am Are turning away, turning away from here Am G Am N.C. Am G On Racherie they have worked with their island dreams F G Am By Lough Cleggan they have nourished in mountain streams G And in searching for acceptance they had given it away F G Am Only the children of their children know the price they had to pay N.C. Am In darkness we do what we can F G In daylight we're oblivion Am Our hearts so raw and clear F G Am Are turning away, turning away from here N.C. Am And in darkness we do what we can F G In daylight we're oblivion Am Our hearts so raw and clear F G Am Are turning away, turning away from here Am G Am ================================================================== Track 2 - Cut By Wire CAPO: 3rd Fret C Dm7 C Dm7 C Dm F The letter stopped in a minor key G C A Christmas card that you drew for me F C Dm Done by the hand that I knew so well G F G C Disguised the message that you could not tell Dm F I see you bent above your potter's wheel G C The piece you're throwing, is the piece you feel F C Dm The softest colour and an eye so true G C For cups and bowls that are shaped like you F Dm You work in porcelain cut by wire G C And now as ever, lovers walk through fire F C Dm When we were breaking, we made no sound G F Dm7 G C The pieces almost touching on the ground Dm F And now your silence says, there's someone there G C She stands behind you as she strokes your hair F C Dm How does she hold you, like a long lost friend?
