 Dm     Bb    C     Dm
I've never felt so alone in my life
   Dm     Bb       C      F
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
 G        Bb   F  C    Dm
There's a poison drop in this cup o-of man
  G       Bb   F  C    Bb A G
To drink it is to follow the left hand pa-a-ath

Think of me long enough to make a memory

Come bless the child one more time


🎸 Outro:
Em
- Where have all the feelings gone?
Em
- Why is it the deadliest sin
Em
- To love as I loved you?
Em
- Now unblessed, homesick in time
Em
- Soon to be freed from care, from human pain
Dm
- My tale is the most bitter truth:
Dm
- Time pays us but with earth and dust
Dm      G
- And a dark silent grave
Dm
- Remember my child
Dm    Em
- Without innocence the cross is only iron
Em
- Hope is only an illusion and ocean soul's
Em

- Nothing but a name
Em   G
- The child bless thee and keep thee forever
