[Intro]


      
      
      
      


[Verse 1]
             
    So as you 

          
canyon-eered f

              
rom our world 


upwards

And the angels took their place
            
   I was the l

/          
oser at your f

uneral

And no emotion conveyed
         
It was drawn o

      
ut in vain

And the idiot I am
             
   Just figure

          
d in the wake 

        
of your leave

That I'd never hear from you again


[Pre-Chorus]
           
    And then I

'd sing

   With all th

is feeling

    That your 

spirit would a

fford me


[Chorus]

     My hand

     On heart
            
   It's not a 

             
thing that I'v

              
e been dreamin

  
g of
          
And it goes wi

         
thout my bless

ing

And leaves me in a rut
         
   But it come

            
s and goes

And shows me all I'm missing
         
   And it come

      
s and goes


[Instrumental]



[Verse 2]
             
   I was there

          
 at the backst

            
age trying

But the words, they never came
            
   And I was a

/           
vailable for a

 
 statement but

 I just

Hung my head in shame
          
   It felt not

#       
hing to me

All the ceremony I'd wasted
             
  And then I'd

          
 thank them an

  
d leave

And say, "God bless you all, goodnight"


[Pre-Chorus]
            
    And then I

   
'd think
             
   The grave w

            
as turning

And that nothing would absolve me


[Chorus]

      My hand

      On heart
            
    It's not a

            
 thing that I'

ve been dreami

ng of
         
   And it thro

              
ws me without 


warning
And leaves me in the dust
         
   But it come

            
s and goes
And fills me when I'm empty
          
   Then it com

#             
es and goes

And I will need it when it's gone


[Instrumental]
      
      


[Bridge]

   It quakes

   And moves

   Then breaks
              
   Then shatte

   
rs over me
    
In shapes of a

ll these
 
Quiet sacred t

hings I need


[Instrumental]
      


[Chorus]

     My hand

     On heart
            
     If there'

             
s a line or so

              
mething in the

   
se songs
          
That are worth

          
y of some ment

ion
You're free to let me know
           
     But it co

      
mes and grows
And leaves me in my weakness
           
     And it co

      
mes and goes


     My hand

     On heart
            
    It's not a

             
 thing that I'

              
ve been dreami

   
ng of
          
And it goes wi

         
thout my bless

ing
And leaves me in a rut
          
    But it com

#      
es and goes
And holds me when I'm sleepless
           
    Then it co

       
mes and shows
How I need you when you're gone
