Half Light, Epoch, and Phase

Intro  D

D
These are the images I arrange
To fill in my report on you
Holiness, mystery, disturbing and strange
Obscuring the point of my view
A                      Bm
Everyone seems to know just what you are
    A                    Bm or D
But I never seem to break through
A                     Bm
Forgive me please if I can't see that far
       A                    Bm or D*
Life's dulling the point of my view
*possibly D Bm D Bm also

E        D
Half light, coming through the dark glass darkly
E        D
Half light, where faith and doubt remain
E        D
Half light, tattoo scars where shadows mark me
E        D
Half light, I don't expect you to explain

D
This is the passage I undertake
Over the epoch and phase
The terror and sweetness of history and fate
The last word on the very last page

A                        Bm
Everyone seems to think they've got it made
     A                       Bm
That you're on a rack by the door
     A                        Bm
It's true, I don't know much except I am saved
     A                             Bm
From falling through cracks in the floor

E        D
Half light, coming through the dark glass darkly
E        D
Half light, where faith and doubt remain
E        D
Half light, tattoo scars where shadows mark me
E        D
Half light, I don't expect you to explain

Interlude  A

D
Tomorrow I'm planning to write the great book
In which I will capture our time
Set forth the fury, the sound and the look
If I could just make up my mind
A                      Bm
Everyone seems to think you're on their side
    A                         Bm
But I don't think you're that small
    A                       Bm
How could they see it when reason has died
   A                     Bm
We haven't a clue to it all

E        D
Half light, coming through the dark glass darkly
E        D
Half light, where faith and doubt remain
E        D
Half light, tattoo scars where shadows mark me
E        D
Half light, I don't expect you to explain
A
