BRIGHT BLUE ROSE

D                                     G   
I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
D       A                A7
Onto the banks of an urban morning
       D               G                        
That hungers the first light, much much more
    D         A7   D
Than mountains ever do.

               D                                           G
And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin
D                       A                        A7
And emerges unlearned, unscathed , unharmed.
    D                                     G
For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
             D             A          D
And I am the geek with the alchemists stone.

Em             A          D          Em      A       D
For all of you who must discover , for all who seek to understand
Em         A                   D         C      G            A
For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand

            D                      G
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
    D         A
And it is the only way
   D                               G
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
      D       A               D
To ponder his death and his life eternally

Em             A          D          Em      A       D
For all of you who must discover , for all who seek to understand
Em         A                   D         C      G            A

            D                      G
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
    D         A
And it is the only way
   D                               G
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
   D            A               D
To ponder his death and his life eternally

D                        
One bright blue rose outlives all those
G
Two thousand years and still it goes
      D       A7               D
To ponder his death and his life eternally
