The dreamer and the wine
Poet without a rhyme
A widowed writer
Gm   Bb          C Dm
Torn apart by chains of hell

One last perfect verse is still the same old song
              Gm     Bb      Gm
Oh, Christ, how I hate what I have become
       Bb   C
Take me home....

Dm             C
Get away, run away, fly away
Dm                    C
Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway

I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
Bb
I cannot die
   A5 Ab5 G5 F#5 F5 E5 Eb5
I, a whore for the cold world
Dm                  C

One for the world, one for God, save me
Gm
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
Bb           F         C
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

Dm
My home was there n' then
Those meadows of Heaven
              Gm
Adventure-filled days
        Bb      C  Dm
One with every smiling face

Please, no more words
Thoughts from a severed head
No more praise
Gm    Bb              Gm
Tell me once my heart goes right
       Bb   C
Take me home....

One for the world, one for God, save me
Gm
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
Bb             F        C
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

Whose guiding light chose you
          Eb        Gm
Chose you all...................

I just wish the tide would catch me first
            D                   Gm
And give me a death I always longed for."

Everyone must bury their own
No pack to bury the heart of stone
Now he's home in hell, serves him well
Slain by the bell tolling for his farewell

The morning dawned upon his alter
Remains of the dark passion play
Gm
Performed by his friends without shame
Bb
Spitting on his grave as they came

Get away, run away, fly away
