I had a big idea
I had a lazy eye
I broke the sacred seal
I told a crazy lie
I've had my conscience bent
I've had my patience tried
I've been down in the desert and
Up by the riverside
Will the eagle fly
If the sky's untrue?
Do the faithful sigh
Because there are so few?
Remember when I cried?
Remember when you knew?
Remember the look in your eyes?
I know I do
Bb Fm7 Bb
And count the stars to measure time
Fm7 Gm G
The earth is hard, the treasure fine
Cm Ebm Fm Gm
To the sea, I'll crawl on my knees
Cm
Feel it coming in
Feel it going out
Water covers sand
Blood covers doubt
So I begin again
Again, the healing bow
There was a time when I might have surrendered, but not now
Bb Fm7 Bb
Consult the cards to measure mine
Fm7 Gm G
The earth is hard, but the treasure fine
Cm Ebm Fm Fm/Ab
To the sea, I'll crawl on my knees
Bb Fm7 Bb
And count the stars to measure time
Fm7 Gm G
The earth is hard, but the treasure fine
Cm Ebm Fm Gm
At the sea, I'll wait on my knees
Cm Ebm Fm Gm
At the sea, I'll wait on my knees
Cm Ebm Fm Gm
At the sea, I'll wait on my knees
