[VERSE]
 
Bm        G                F#                  E
He seems alone and silent, thoughts remain without an answer
Bm         G            F#               E
Afraid and uninvited he slowly drifts away
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
 
D          Bm
Moved by desire and fear
G        A
Breaking delicate wings
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
D       Gadd9         D          Gadd9
Lifting shadows off a dream once broken
Bm             Asus4         Gadd9   Em
She can turn a drop of water into an ocean

[VERSE]
 
Bsus2                        Gadd9
As the rain is pouring down, tears of sorrow wash his mind
Esus4             E             Cadd11               Asus2
Drifting with the current, this stream of life flows on
Bsus2                      Gadd9
He seems alone and silent, waiting on his hands and knees
Esus4        E                 Cadd11      Asus2
The chill of winter's darkness sits quietly
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
 
D          G
Moved by desire and fear
D          G
he takes a few steps away
 
 
[CHORUS]

Lifting shadows off a dream once broken

She can turn a drop of water into an ocean

And she listens openly

He pours his soul into the water reflecting the mystery
    D5/Bb        D5/G        Fsus2
She carries him away and the winds die slowly

And she listens openly

              He seems alone and silent
thoughts remain without an answer
Afraid and uninvited
he slowly drifts away

Moved by desire and fear
Breaking delicate wings

Lifting shadows
off a Dream once broken
She can turn a drop of water
Into an ocean

As the rain is pouring down
Tears of sorrow wash his mind
Drifting with the current
This stream of life flows on

He seems alone and silent
waiting on his hands and knees
The chill of winter's darkness sits quietly

Moved by desire and fear
he takes a few steps away

Lifting shadows
off a Dream once broken
She can turn a drop of water
Into an ocean

And she listens openly

He pours his soul into the water
reflecting the mystery
She carries him away
and the winds die slowly

And she listens openly
And she listens openly

Lifting shadows
off a Dream once broken
She can turn a drop of water
Into an ocean
