Ruins

Cm
I sing for people and places, all outer spaces-
G#
I've traveled to castles with kings.
Cm
I've sipped wine from the vine
G#
in courtyards with pools fed by springs.
D# G
Now I'm standing in the ruins.

Cm G#
With the music they played on a hundred guitars
D# A#
still twirling like dancers in stars.
Fm Cm
I sing, Bring me back everything
Fm G
I sing for......

I know the colors of life at its fullest.
Brilliant when given a chance.
I filled the space between Heaven and Earth
with beauty I danced.
Now I'm sitting in the ruins.

I was around when bars, filled with clouds,
swelled at the sight of the band.
When death was for the dying, life was for the living
and we waltzed to the dawn hand in hand.
Now I'm lying in the ruins.
