                       Bm
I thought that it was you
                       D
The things you saw me do
            A
They were true
              Bm
Little did I know
                      D
You found me in your joy
              A
And there was I, a little boy

My shadows, they're not new
My soul's split in two
Lord, I thought that it was you
This Christmas snow that falls
Gives silence to us all
Amen, amen

Chorus:
F#m                  D
You know my deepest sin
                        A
You've seen me deep within
F#m                  Bm
So fill me now like wind
                       A
And let the miracle begin

There's a river and you know
There's a place we used to go
That's where I throw our ashes now
I must have walked into a cave
Among these things that you must save
And there I touched the grave

Chorus

And the secrets that you say
