E Esus4 E C#m A E
is it a kind of dream floating out on the tide
F#m B7 G#m C#m
following the river of death downstream
A B7
oh is it a dream ?
E Esus4 E C#m A E
there's a fog along the horizon a strange glow in the sky
F#m B7 G#m C#m A C#7
and nobody seems to know where you go and what does it mean ?
Edim C#7 B7 E
oh oh is it a dream ?
G#m A F#m B7
bright eyes burning like fire
G#m A F#m D B7
bright eyes how can you close and fail ?
E Emaj7 B7sus4 C#m F#m A B7sus4
how can the light that burned so softly suddenly burn so pale ?
B7 E
bright eyes
