Ballad

Eb                 Ab                  Bb

riding on mountains of the night astride
Cm                          Ab       Bb

and as you stand alone within the breathing darkness
Cm          D          Gm                    Cm

ill be at your side
       Bb      F

if you can look
Eb

on this unchanging sunlight
      Ab                     Bb

one second fully when the day is new
Cm                        Ab      Bb

and as the burning coin dazzles beneath your eyelids
Cm         D             Gm                   Cm

i shall look at you
         Bb       F



and if you can run
Eb              Cm

where wind may beat about you
       Gm                  Bb

out on the hill where shadows race
Cm         F                  G

touching grass, touching trees
Gm        Eb       Dm     Cm

and the edge of water
Cm

i shall touch
F

your face
     Bb



though all the lands of heaven and earth divide us
Eb                      Ab              Bb

though distance is a dark unbroken tether
Cm                        Ab       Bb

if you can walk within the same remembered music
Cm           Gm            Cm                Gm

we can walk, we can walk
        Cm           F
